As the Project Manager for the EduStream project, you have received a report developed by JPMedia, which includes the following two tables. The figures in the first table are based on their expert analysis, which relates to purchasing the licenses for one of three video packages for inclusion in the EduStream system. The expected revenues listed in this table only cover two years. They have asked you to: a) conduct an Expected Monetary Value (EMV) assessment for them and include the results in the two tables provided below.
