Question: In evaluating the risks associated with future economic and market conditions, there is a 6 0 % chance ( or 0 . 6 0 )

In evaluating the risks associated with future economic and market conditions, there is a 60% chance (or 0.60) of favorable market conditions in the future, and a 40% chance (or 0.40) of only average market conditions. Market research has produced revenue estimates for two different projects under these two market conditions. Project A under favorable market conditions could earn our organization $400,000... and only $100,000 under average market conditions. Project B under favorable market conditions could earn our organization $500,000... but only $50,000 under average market conditions.
Use decision-tree and/or expected value calculations to determine if Project A or Project B is a better option. 1) Calculate a net present value for each of the two projects. 2) Which project should be selected, and why? Show all of your calculations and "work".
