Based on market research the executive team believes the geographic expansion has an 85% probability of being a success and returning a profit. However, the executive team also believes there is a 15% probability that the product will not return a profit in these new markets.  Fahrenheit Energy’s management team deciding whether or not to expand into the European market falls under which quadrant of risk?  

Rachel, the Risk Manager of Titan Technologies, wants to engage in self-insured retention (“self insurance”) for the workers compensation exposure of the firm’s 2,500 employees. Rachel believes there are many advantages to this idea. However, her key concern is the possibility of an extremely high severity worker’s compensation loss occurring (such as the death of multiple employees) which could potentially cost the company multi-millions of dollars. Titan Technologies is a “lean” business and simply would not be able to retain / pay for such a large loss out of its internal financial resources. What issue of self-insured retention as a risk financing option does the underlined portion of the above scenario present for Titan Technologies?

Magnus Manufacturing is assessing the possibility of a failure of a critical piece of equipment at its Harrisburg, PA manufacturing plant; and the corresponding losses that the equipment failures would cause. After performing a quantitative analysis of the company’s historical information, the Risk Manager of Magnus Manufacturing derived the following Probability Distribution:  Outcome Probability  Loss ($$$) No Equipment Failure 0.60 $0 Minor Equipment Failure 0.25 $15,000 Moderate Equipment Failure 0.125 $75,000 Major Equipment Failure 0.025 $250,000   Question #1:  What is the Expected Value (Loss) for the failure of a critical piece of equipment at Magnus Manufacturing’s – Harrisburg, PA plant?  = [choice1]   Question #2: The Risk Manager wants to compare the risk between the company’s Harrisburg, PA manufacturing plant and the company’s largest manufacturing plant in Philadelphia, PA. After performing even further quantitative analysis, the Risk Manager of Magnus Manufacturing derived the following information about the two manufacturing plants:  Harrisburg, PA Manufacturing Plant: Expected Value (Loss) = calculated above in Question #1 Standard Deviation = $44,000 Philadelphia, PA Manufacturing Plant:  Expected Value (Loss) = $55,000 Standard Deviation = $97,550   Which one of the two manufacturing plants poses MORE risk (uncertainty) of equipment failure; as determined by the most critical objective measure of risk? (or worded another way the equalizing measure of dispersion) And what is the numerical value of the most critical objective measure of risk?  = [choice2]
