Explanation / Answer

1. EMV1 (large stock) = (22000)(0.3) + (12000)(0.45) + (-2500)(0.25) =$11, 375.

EMV2 (Average stock) = (12000)(0.3) +(9000)(0.45) + (6500)(0.25) =$6,025

EMV3 (Small stock) = (9000)(0.3)+ (7500)(0.45) + (3200)(0.25) =$5,275

The highest EMV is for large stock.

The value for large stock EMV = $11,375.
