Largest EMV
Compute EVwPI
The best alternative with a favorable market is to build a large
plant with a payoff of $200,000. In an unfavorable market the
choice is to do nothing with a payoff of $0
EVwPI = ($200,000)*.5 + ($0)(.5) = $100,000
Compute EVPI = EVwPI – max EMV = $100,000 - $40,000 = $60,000
The most we should pay for any information is $60,000
