The next several questions refer to this situation and diagram.
YOU are considering three different investment options (d1 - buy oil stocks, d2 - buy online tech stocks, and d3 - place money in a GIC). How each investment will perform depends on how long the COVID-19 situation persists. If it goes on for a long time (s2), oil stocks will continue to do very poorly (payoff of -10000), while online tech stocks will do well (payoff of 28000); the situation is reversed if the outbreak resolves quickly (s1) (payoff of 32000 for oil and -12000 for tech). The return for the GIC, being 'guaranteed', is not random (payoff of 115000). You have estimated the probability of a quick end P(s1) = 0.37, while P(s2) = 0.63.

QUESTION 8 1 points SaveAnswer The next several questions refer to this situation. The city of Kingston has decided to build a new large venue event centre (LVEC) for conventions, concerts, and other public events, but considerable controversy surrounds the appropriate size. Many inuential citizens want a large center that would be a showcase for the area, but the mayor feels that if demand does not support such a center, the community will lose a large amount of money. To provide structure for the decision process, the council narrowed the building alternatives to three sizes: small, medium, and large. Everybody agreed that the critical factor in choosing the best size is the number of people who will want to use the new facility. A regional planning consultant provided demand estimates under three scenarios: worst case, base case, and best case. The worst-case scenario corresponds to a situation in which tourism drops signicantly; the base-case scenario corresponds to a situation in which Kingston continues to attract visitors at current levels; and the best-case scenario corresponds to a signicant increase in tourism. The consultant has provided probability assessments of .39, .41, and .2 for the worst-case, base-case, and best-case scenarios, respectively. The city council suggested using net cash ow over a ve-year planning horizon as the criterion for deciding on the best size. A consultant developed the following projections of net cash ow (in millions of dollars) for a veyear planning horizon. All costs are included. Click Save and Submit to save and submit.
