BP has three potential sites where it can build a drilling rig. Due to its past experience, the CEO
has instructed his management team to choose no more than one site.
Thuarruarr osts, the revenues and the estimated outcomes for each site are given in the table below.
For example, it costs $8M to build a drilling rig in site B. There's a 30% chance for E1 with
potential revenue of $30M;50% chance for E2 with potential revenue of $5M; and a 20% chance
for E3 with zero revenue.
Calculate the EMV (10 points).
How much would the company be willing to pay for perfect information on all three sites
(together)? Note that after finding out the true nature of each site, the company can still
choose no more than one site. (15 points)
After a close vote, the company decided not to drill in sites A and B. It was also decided
that site C would be chosen only if it were profitable to drill there. In addition, the
company's CEO determined that site C could not be overflowing (state E1). Assuming
that is true, how much would the company be willing to pay for perfect information on
site C now? (10 points)
