    PMP · Question 11 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks

    A project has a 30% chance of a delay costing $20,000 and a 20% chance of a scope reduction saving $10,000. What is the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) of these uncertainties?

    Answer options:

    A.

    -$6,000

    B.

    -$4,000

    C.

    $4,000

    D.

    -$8,000

    How to approach this question

    Calculate EMV for each risk separately (Threat = negative, Opportunity = positive) and sum them.

    Full Answer

    B.-$4,000✓ Correct
    B
    EMV is the sum of probability-weighted impacts. Threat: 0.3 * -20k = -6k. Opportunity: 0.2 * +10k = +2k. Sum = -4k.

    Common mistakes

    Forgetting that costs are negative values.
