Answer:

c. $800 million

Explanation:

Data provided as per the requirement of compensation expenses is shown below:-

Fair Value = $20 million

Pricing model per option = $40

The computation of compensation expense is shown below:-

Compensation expense = Fair Value × Pricing model per option

= $20 million × $40 per option

= $800 million

Therefore for computing the compensation expenses we simply multiplied the fair value with pricing model per option.

What is the difference between an optimistic approach and a pessimistic approach to decision making under assumed uncertainty
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the best' while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and chooses the 'best of the worst'.

Explanation:

Decision making under assumed uncertainty is an approach that is taken when the outcomes of future events are not entirely known. The Hurwicz criterion provides a basis on which the pessimistic and optimistic outcomes can be balanced. This criterion allows the person who makes the decision to chose a coefficient of pessimism signified by alpha (α) and it is a decimal that is graded between 0 and 1. This number signifies the worst possible outcome whereas, the number (1-α) signifies the best outcome.

So, the optimistic approach examines the best possible outcome in a given situation and allows the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the best', while the pessimistic approach examines the worst possible outcome in a given situation and the decision-maker to choose the 'best of the worst'
