Ling Li of Li Windows, Inc. is considering making a change in the material the firm uses for panes in its residential window line. The new material has a slight mirror attribute that assists in reflecting ultraviolet light and restricts the transmis- sion of heat. The new material will raise the cost of a standard window by $3.76. The current window is in the mature stage of the life cycle, and, with no modifications, Li has estimated that sales of the window line will be 240,000 units per year with a probability of 0.3 or 180,000 units per year with a probability of 0.7. The standard price of a window unit is $45. With the new glass material, the price per unit can be increased to $50. However, Li estimates that the demand for the newly designed window will be 210,000 units with a probability of 0.6, and the there will be a 0.4 probability of sales of 150,000 units. Which option will allow the company to maximize its expected mon- etary value (EMV)?
