Optiоn = B (fоr Prоf. Schwаrtz... disregаrd) Steller Associаtes is a consulting firm for businesses. Steller has two large clients, one of which is RED Company. Steller is working on a large project for RED Company which has a due date of 04/01/2025. 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 on the project for RED Company: The probability of no delay = 50% The probability of a delay of 3 days = 25% The probability of a delay of 5 days = 20% The probability of a delay of 10 days = 5% Per the terms of the contract with RED Company > Each day the project is delayed past the 04/01/2025 deadline = $2,000 is taken off of the agreed price of the project. (i.e. = every day the project is delayed = $2,000 financial consequence for Steller Associates) ***Hint = remember how we measure severity in the world of risk management!!! Based on the above information – please answer the following questions: Part A: [3 points] From the perspective of Steller Associates: calculate the Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project past the 04/01/2025 deadline for RED Company (round to the nearest whole number!!!) (even though you are calculating a "loss" > keep your expected value calculation in POSTIVE numbers) (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas, no decimals) ANSWER: Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for RED 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 RED Company: The variance of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for RED Company = 28,751,044 squared dollars Take the variance as FACT (you do NOT need to calculate it) From the perspective of Steller Associates: calculate the Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project past the 04/01/2025 deadline for RED 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: Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for RED Company = [STDDEV] Part C: [5 points] Steller Associates has another large client: BLUE Corporation. Steller Associates is working on a large project for BLUE Corporation as well, which also has a due date of 04/01/2025. 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 BLUE Corporation: The Expected Value of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for BLUE Corporation = $7,950 The Standard Deviation of the financial consequence from the delay of the project for BLUE Corporation = $8,110 (Take these calculations as FACT... meaning you do NOT need to calculate them) The CEO of Steller Associates is concerned about the possible delays on these two key projects: In terms of the key measure of objective risk (the key measure of volatility) > which project faces more uncertainty in terms of financial consequence (loss) from delay? (i.e. = which project should the CEO be more “uncertain” about the outcome?) ANSWER for RED COMPANY: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVRED] (Round to TWO decimal places) (type your answer in number format > meaning no symbols ($), no commas) ANSWER for BLUE COMPANY: NUMERICAL VALUE for KEY Measure of Objective Risk = [COVBLUE] (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 answer: RED BLUE Cannot be determined
Assume thаt Fоxcоnn, Inc. is the оnly third pаrty mаnufacturer of the iPad for Apple Inc. in China. Foxconn was rocked by a huge explosion in the building where the iPad is assembled. Several employees were injured, and production of the iPad was halted for several days to allow officials to investigate the cause of this accident and ensure the safety of the workers. No finished iPads were manufactured or delivered to Apple in the United States during this time period. From the point of view of Apple, which of following quadrants of risk does this fall under?
