Southern manufacturing has substantial warehousing needs for raw materials. It currently faces the choice of building a single $18 million facility, or building three separate $6 million facilities. Each facility faces the following loss distribution. (The separate facilities are statistically independent.) Probability of Loss Percent of Value Lost .04 100 .03 50 .94 0 a) What is the expected loss for each warehousing choice? b) What is the probability of an $18 million loss for each warehousing choice? c) Assume that a direct loss of $18 million loss will cause the firm to have to pay extra expenses of $2million to stay in business. What will be the impact of Buckeye's warehousing choice on its expected indirect losses? 3.
