A project needs software. After analyzing the choices, it is determined that if made in- house, it will cost $100,000. However, if the software is purchased, the cost would be $25,000. After reviewing

This value ($100,000 + 0.20 * $30,000 = $106,000) represents the EMV for making the software in-house, not purchasing it.

This value does not align with the correct EMV calculation for purchasing the software based on the provided data.

The EMV for purchasing the software is calculated as the initial cost plus the product of the probability and cost of the uncertain event. This is $25,000 (purchase cost) + (70% probability * $200,000 training/customizations) = $25,000 + $140,000 = $165,000.

This value appears to be a simple sum of the purchase cost and the potential training/customization cost without applying the probability ($25,000 + $200,000 = $225,000).
