    C) Location C

    Explanation:

    We have to calculate the expected monetary value (EMV). EMV is how much money you should expect to receive from different options. The EMV of the three options are:

    EMV location A = (.50 x 20%) + (.30 x 9%) + (.20 x - 10%) = 10% + 2.7% - 2% = 10.7%

    EMV location B = (.40 x 19%) + (.32 x 7.5%) + (.28 x - 11%) = 10% + 2.7% - 2% = 7%

    EMV location C = (.45 x 22%) + (.50 x 6%) + (.05 x - 15%) = 10% + 2.7% - 2% = 12%

    Since the EMV of location C is higher, then location C is the best alternative.
