A toy manufacturer has three different mechanisms (‘alternatives") that can be installed in a doll that it sells. The different

mechanisms have different setup costs (overheads) and variable costs and, therefore, the overall profit from the dolls is dependent on the alternative chosen. The probability of each demand "state of nature", as well as the anticipated payoff for each decision alternative, is as follows.
Light Demand Moderate Demand Heavy Demand
Probability 0.1 0.3 0.6
Wind – up action $325,000 $190,000 $170,000
Pneumatic action $300,000 $420,000 $400,000
Electrical action -$600,000 $240,000 $800,000
Required:
(A) Which one of the three alternatives has the maximum Expected Monetary Value (EMV) and what is its value? Your answer should include two things:
1) the name of the best alternative AND 2) its EMV dollar amount.

Answer:

The electrical action has the better expected monetary value with 492,000

Explanation:

We will multiply the expected outcome by their probability then, we add them to get the expected monetary value per option:

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}$WIND-UP&$Return&$Probability&$Weight\\$Light&325000&0.1&32500\\$Morerate&190000&0.3&57000\\$Heavy&170000&0.6&102000\\$Total&&1&191500\\\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}$PNEUMATIC&Return&Probability&Weight\\$Light&300000&0.1&30000\\$Morerate&420000&0.3&126000\\$Heavy&400000&0.6&240000\\$Total&&1&396000\\\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}$Electrical&Return&Probability&Weight\\$Light&-600000&0.1&-60000\\$Morerate&240000&0.3&72000\\$Heavy&800000&0.6&480000\\$Total&&1&492000\\\end{array}\right]

BigorU [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of two different depreciation schedules is shown below:-

a. Using the Double-declining balance method

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate     Amount

2005                $90,000                     50%                  $45,000

2006                $45,000                      50%                  $22,500

2007                $22,500                      50%                  $11,250

2008 No depreciation as it is lower that straight line method that is $22,500 also we took the double rate of 25% so we consider 50%

b. Using the straight line method

Straight Line Depreciation Method:

$100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Year            Equipment Cost      Depreciation rate      Amount

2005                $90,000                     25%                      $22,500

2006                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2007                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

2008                $90,000                      25%                     $22,500

Depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 4 years

=  25

2. The double declining method reduced the net income while the straight line method increased the net icnome
