Buy $10,500,000 (15M - 5M) -$500,000 (-10% deposit + 0)
Do Not Buy -$500,000 (-10% deposit) -$500,000 (-10% deposit)
3. Using the expected value approach, the best alternative is to submit the bid. The
expected value for submitting the bid is:
(0.2 * $10,500,000) + (0.8 * -$500,000) = $2,100,000 - $400,000 = $1,700,000
And the expected value for not submitting the bid is:
(0.3 * -$500,000) + (0.7 * -$500,000) = -$500,000
Therefore, the expected value approach recommends submitting the bid.
4. The optimistic approach would recommend submitting the bid because it assumes
the best outcome will happen (i.e. the zoning change will be approved).
The conservative approach would recommend not submitting the bid because it
assumes the worst outcome will happen (i.e. the zoning change will not be
approved).
The minimax regret approach would recommend submitting the bid because the
regret for not submitting the bid and missing out on a potential profit of $10,500,000
is greater than the regret for submitting the bid and losing $500,000 if the zoning
change is not approved.
