The PT Geo Teknika (GT) owns a tract of land that may contain oil. A consulting geologist
has reported to management that he believes there is oil with probability of 0.2. Because of
this prospect, another oil company has offered to purchase the land for $120,000. However,
PT GT is considering holding the land in order to drill for oil itself. The cost of drilling is
$150,000. If oil is found, the resulting expected revenue will be $1,050,000, so the
company’s expected profit (after deducting the cost of drilling) will be $900,000. A loss of
$150,000 (the drilling cost) will be incurred if the land is dry (no oil).
Table 1 summarizes these data. Determine the decision of whether to drill or sell based just
on these data.
