Digital Exams and Scholastic Dishonesty Agreement Copying, photographing, and distributing exam materials, as well as using digital learning tools (e.g., AI tools), violates the University’s policy on Scholastic Dishonesty. Engaging in such activities can result in serious consequences, including failing the exam or the course and being placed on administrative probation. To discourage and detect instances of scholastic dishonesty, each student will receive a unique exam that differs in wording and composition from those of their peers. This serves as a fair warning that if you distribute material from the exam, there is a high probability that it can be traced back to you as the source. Despite the differences in wording and composition, all exams will be equivalent in length, content covered, and difficulty. GRADING: This question will be graded manually after the exam. If you enter your full name, you will be given an additional point after the exam. By writing my name below (First and Last), I acknowledge that I have read the above statement, the Exam Guidelines in the Syllabus, and agree to comply with the Course and University’s policy on Scholastic Dishonesty.

Option = C (for Prof. Schwartz… disregard) Titan Technologies is a tech start up that creates website solutions for businesses. Titan has two large clients, one of which is Cowboy Company. Titan is working on a large project for Cowboy Co. which has a due date of 10/15/2025. Unfortunately, the Project Manager anticipates there is a possibility that the project will be delayed.  Based on historical experience of other similar projects, the Project Manager has estimated the following for the project for Cowboy Co: The probability of no delay = 60% The probability of a delay of 5 days = 30% The probability of a delay of 15 days = 7.5% The probability of a delay of 30 days = 2.5% Per the terms of the contract with Cowboy Co. > each day the project is delayed past the 10/15/2025 deadline = $1,000 is taken off of the agreed price of the project (i.e. = every day the project is delayed = $1,000 financial consequence for Titan Technologies)   Part A: [3 points] From the perspective of Titan Technologies: calculate the Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project past the 10/15/2025 deadline for Cowboy Co. (round to the nearest whole number!!!)  (even though you are calculating a “loss” > keep your expected value calculation in POSTIVE numbers)  (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas, no decimals)  ANSWER: Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Cowboy Co. = [EXPVAL]   Part B: [2 points] Based on the historical experience of other similar projects, the Project Manager has also calculated the following in regard to the project for Cowboy Co: The variance of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Cowboy Co. = 35,484,375 Take the variance as FACT (you do NOT need to calculate it)  From the perspective of Titan Technologies: calculate the Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Cowboy Co. past the 10/15/2025 deadline.   (round to the nearest whole number!!!)  (even though you are calculating a “loss” > keep your expected value calculation in POSTIVE numbers)  (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas, no decimals)    ANSWER: Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Cowboy Co.  = [STDDEV]   Part C: [5 points] Titan Technologies has another large client: Giant Corporation. Titan Technologies is working on a large project for Giant Corp. as well, which also has a due date of 10/15/2025. The Project Manager of this project also anticipates the possibility it could be delayed.  Based on historical experience of other similar projects, the Project Manager has estimated and calculated the following in regard to the project for Giant Corp: The Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Giant Corp. = $19,750 The Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for Giant Corp. = $21,134 (Take these calculations as FACT… meaning you do NOT need to calculate them)    The CEO of Titan Technologies is concerned about the possible delays on these two key projects: In terms of the key measure of objective risk (the key measure of volatility) > which project faces more uncertainty in terms of financial consequence (loss) from delay?  (i.e. = which project should the CEO be more “uncertain” about the outcome? Cowboy Co. or Giant Corp.?)   ANSWER for Cowboy Company: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVCOW] (Round to TWO decimal places)  (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas)   ANSWER for Giant Corporation: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVGIANT] (Round to TWO decimal places) (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas)   FINAL ANSWER: Which project faces the MOST risk objectively? = [FINALANSWER] Simply type the NUMBER (1, 2, 3, or 4) of your choice:  Cowboy Company Giant Corporation Cowboy Co. and Giant Corp. face the same amount of risk objectively Cannot be determined
