Find the expected monetary value when baking 25 loaves. EMV-S (Type an integer or a deamal.) Find the expected monetary value when baking 50 loaves EMV-S (Type an integer or a decimal.) Find the expected monetary value when baking 75 loaves EMV-S(Type an integer or a decimal.) Make a recommendation for the bakery to bake 25, 50, or 75 loaves each moming The bakery should bake loaves of bread every morning.

Explanation / Answer

Expected monetary gain = expected revenue - cost

a. expected monetary value when baking 25 loaves = 25*($7) * (Probability of having demand at least 25) - 25*4

= 25*7*1- 25*4 = $75

b. expected monetary value when baking 50 loaves:

Expected revnue = 25*0.30*7 + 50*0.70*7 = 297.5

Cost = 50*4 = 200

expected monetary value when baking 50 loaves = 297.5-200 = $97.5

c. expected monetary value when baking 75 loaves:

Expected revnue = 25*0.30*7 + 50*0.25*7+ 75*0.45*7 = 376.25

Cost = 75*4 = 300

expected monetary value when baking 50 loaves = 376.25-300 = $76.25

d. Since expected monetary values from baking 25, 50 and 75 loaves are $75, $97.5 and $76.25 respectively, it is recommended that bakery should bake 50 loaves
