After reading about economic predictions, Debbie Gibson (see problem #4) has assigned the probabilities that the economy will be strong, average, and weak at 0.2, 0.35, and 0.45 respectively. a) Using EMVs, what option should Debbie choose? What is the maximum EMV? b) Using EOL, what option should Debbie choose? What is the minimum EOL? c) Compute the EVPI and show that it is the same as the minimum EOL. For Reference: (Problem # 4) Debbie Gibson is considering three investment options for a small inheritance that she has just received-stocks, bonds, and money market. The return on her investment will depend on the performance of the economy, which can be strong, average, or weak. If the market is strong her returns are 9% for stocks, 6% for bonds and 4% for money market. If the market is average her returns are 5% for stocks, 4% for bonds and 6% for money market. If the market is weak her returns are -7% for stocks, 2% for bonds and 1% for money market.
