Deborah Hollwager, a concessionaire for the Amway Center in Orlando, has developed a table of conditional values for the various alternatives (stocking decision) and states of nature (size of crowd):
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
& \multicolumn{3}{c}{ States of Nature \( ( \) size of crowd \( ) \)} \\
\hline Alternatives & Large & Average & Small \\
\hline Large Inventory & \( \$ 24,000 \) & \( \$ 10,000 \) & \( -\$ 1,000 \) \\
Average Inventory & \( \$ 16,000 \) & \( \$ 16,000 \) & \( \$ 8,000 \) \\
Small Inventory & \( \$ 8,000 \) & \( \$ 6,000 \) & \( \$ 5,000 \) \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Probabilities associated with the states of nature are 0.35 for a large crowd, 0.55 for an average crowd, and 0.10 for a small crowd.
a) The alternative that provides Deborah the greatest expected monetary value (EMV) is Average Inventory
The EMV for this decision is \( \$ 15200 \) (enter your answer as a whole number).
b) For Deborah, the expected value of perfect information \( ( \) EVPI \( )=\$ \) \( \square \) (enter your answer as a whole number).
