    The value of this firm to shareholders is $70240

    Explanation:

    Using expected value approach, the value of the firm can be computed as:

    (Optimistic value*its probability) + (pessimistic value*its probability)

    optimistic value=$139000 and its probability is 68%=0.68

    Pessimistic value=$121000 and its probability is 1-0.68=0.32

    Expected value = ($139000*0.68) + ($121000*0.32)

    =$133240

    However, the value to shareholders is the expected value of the firm less debt of $63000

    Equity value=$133240-$63000

    =$70240
