It will costs the Philippines P2,500,000 to drill a natural gas well. Operating expenses will be 10% of therevenue from the sale of natural gas from this particular well. If found, natural gas from a highly productive well will amount to 260,000 cubic feet per day. The probability of locating such a productive well, however is about 10%. If natural gas sells for P80 per thousand cubic feet, what is the EMVPw of profit to the Philippine governement?

(a) The protective case currently used by utility companies has a 0.045 probability of cracking or breaking in any given year. When a protective case cracks or breaks, the utility company incurs a $800 expense to replace the case. What is the expected value of the utility company’s repair costs per protective case? Show your work. (b) Airtight has recently developed a stronger material for its protective case. The use of this stronger material reduces the case’s probability of cracking or breaking and serves as a differentiating factor for estimating this product’s VTC. Use the product-needs matrix described in the course to classify this differentiating factor. What type of product characteristic is it? What type of customer need does it satisfy?
