How do you calculate expected monetary value?
Expected Monetary Value is calculated by multiplying each possible outcome by its probability, then summing all results. Formula: EMV = Σ(Probability × Impact). For example, a 30% chance of $10,000 profit and 70% chance of $2,000 loss equals: (0.3 × $10,000) + (0.7 × -$2,000) = $1,600 EMV.
What is the formula for EMV in Excel?
In Excel, calculate EMV using: =SUMPRODUCT(probability_range, outcome_range). For multiple scenarios, use: =SUM(B2C2+B3C3+B4*C4) where column B contains probabilities and column C contains monetary outcomes. This automatically multiplies each probability by its outcome and sums the results.
How to calculate EMV in decision tree?
Calculate EMV in decision trees by working backward from outcomes to decisions. Multiply each outcome's probability by its value, sum them for each branch, then compare EMVs to choose the best decision path. Start at the rightmost outcomes and calculate EMV for each decision node moving leftward.
What is an example of a monetary value?
A monetary value example: A marketing campaign has 40% chance of generating $50,000 revenue, 35% chance of $20,000, and 25% chance of losing $10,000. EMV = (0.4 × $50,000) + (0.35 × $20,000) + (0.25 × -$10,000) = $20,000 + $7,000 - $2,500 = $24,500 expected value.
How does EMV help in business decision making?
EMV helps businesses make objective decisions by quantifying risk and potential returns. It enables comparison of different strategies, investment opportunities, and project alternatives using standardized monetary metrics. EMV analysis reduces emotional bias and provides data-driven frameworks for resource allocation and strategic planning.
