Based on the concept of expected value, the units that the company should order to meet February demand is <u>57 units.</u>

<h3>What is expected value?</h3>

In mathematics under the probability distribution theory, the expected value is the weighted average of possible values of some random variables.  The weights are based on the theoretical probabilities of the variables.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cost per unit = $20

Selling price per unit = $50

<h3>Projected Demand</h3>

  Demand Units    Probability      Expected Demand Units

1.    50 units             40%                 20 units (50 x 40%)

2.   60 units             50%                 30 units (60 x 50%)

3.   70 units              10%                    7 units (70 x 10%)

Total expected demand units =    57 units

Thus, the expected demand in February is <u>57 units</u>.
