Steve Gentry, the оperаtiоns mаnаger оf Baja Fabricators, wants to purchase a new profiling machine (it cuts compound angles on the ends of large structural pipes used in the fabrication yard). However, because the price of crude oil is depressed, the market for such equipment is down. Steve believes that the market will improve in the near future and that the company should expand its capacity. The table below displays the three equipment options he is currently considering, and the profit he expects each one to yield over a two-year period. The consensus forecast at Baja is that there is about a 30% probability that the market will pick up "soon" (within 3 to 6 months) and a 70% probability that the improvement will come "later" (in 9 to 12 months, perhaps longer).     Profit from Capacity Investment (in Dollars) Equipment Option Market picks up "soon" p = 0.30 Market picks up "later" p = 0.70 Manual Machine -120,000 210,000 NC Machine 140,000 160,000 CNC Machine 200,000 -200,000 Based on the above estimates Steve is interested in know the what the Expected Value with Perfect Information would be (what we often called the Expected Value under Certainty in class).  Answer below to the nearest whole number.
