Optiоn = C (fоr Prоf. Schwаrtz... disregаrd) Excelsior Technologies is а tech start up that creates website solutions for businesses. Excelsior has two large clients, one of which is ABC Company. Excelsior is working on a large project for ABC Company which has a due date of 03/15/2025. 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 ABC Company: The probability of no delay = 60% The probability of a delay of 5 days = 20% The probability of a delay of 10 days = 15% The probability of a delay of 15 days = 5% Per the terms of the contract with ABC Company > Each day the project is delayed past the 03/15/2025 deadline = $1,000 is taken off of the agreed price of the project (i.e. = every day the project is delayed = $1,000 financial consequence for Excelsior Technologies) ***Hint = remember how we measure severity in the world of risk management!!! Part A: [3 points] From the perspective of Excelsior Technologies: calculate the Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project past the 03/15/2025 deadline for ABC Company (round to the nearest whole number!!!) (even though you are calculating a "loss" > keep your expected value calculation in POSTIVE numbers) (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas, no decimals) ANSWER: Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for ABC Company = [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 ABC Company: The variance of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for ABC Company = 20,684,304 squared dollars Take the variance as FACT (you do NOT need to calculate it) From the perspective of Excelsior Technologies: calculate the Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for ABC Company past the 03/15/2025 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 ABC Company = [STDDEV] Part C: [5 points] Excelsior Technologies has another large client: XYZ Corporation. Excelsior Technologies is working on a large project for XYZ Corporation as well, which also has a due date of 03/15/2025. The Project Manager of this project also anticipates the possibility the project will 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 XYZ Corporation: The Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for XYZ Corporation = $14,958 The Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for XYZ Corporation = $17,500 (Take these calculations as FACT... meaning you do NOT need to calculate them) The CEO of Excelsior Technologies is concerned about the possible delays on these two key projects: In terms of the key measure of objective risk (the key measure of volatility) > which project faces more uncertainty in terms of financial consequence (loss) from delay? (i.e. = which project should the CEO be more “uncertain” about the outcome? ABC or XYZ?) ANSWER for ABC COMPANY: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVABC] (Round to TWO decimal places) (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas) ANSWER for XYZ COMPANY: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVXYZ] (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, or 3) of your choice: ABC XYZ Cannot be determined
