Expected value

KKhan3y ago
The production of the company is 2000 4000 The selling price is $20/unit and variable cost Is 4 . The comany is deciding the supply level The 20% of the production would be lost and lost would be scarp at $.4. Sir how we construct the payoff table sir i know from your lecture how to construct it but i am not able to take account of lost 20%

If they produce 2000 then they will lose 400 (20% of 2,000) and will be able to sell 1,600. Therefore the cost will be 2,000 x $4 = $8,000, and the total revenue will be (1,600 x $20) + (400 x $4) = $33,600. The profit will be the difference. (Does the book in which you found the question not show the answer? :-) )
