    Option b has the highest expected monetary value (EMV)

    Explanation:

    For Option a:

    At probability 0.65: At probability 0.35

    Units=110,000 Units=65,000

    Amount=$580 each Amount=$580

    EMV/Total Sales=0.65 (110,000*580) + 0.35 (65,000*580)

    EMV/Total Sales=$54,665,000

    For Option b:

    At probability 0.62: At probability 0.38

    Units=85,000 Units=60,000

    Amount=$740 each Amount=$740

    EMV/Total Sales=0.62 (85,000*740) + 0.38 (60,000*740)

    EMV/Total Sales=$55,870,000

    So Option B has the highest expected monetary value (EMV).
