Chapter 4
Page 87Equation (4.20) is repeated here (another equation is numbered 4.20 on page 85. Increase
all equation numbers starting with (4.20) on page 87 by 1. Equation 4.20 should
be numbered 4.21, 4.21 should be numbered 4.22 etc.
Page 93The equations for F14, F15, F16 should be adjusted to
F14 = L12 + 2 T12 = 30,443 + 2 1,541 = 33,525
F15 = L12 + 3 T12 = 30,443 + 3 1,541 = 35,066
F16 = L12 + 4 T12 = 30,443 + 4 1,541 = 36,607
Page 94The equations for F15, F16 should be adjusted to
F15 = L12 + 3 T12 = (24,791 + 3 532) 1.17 = 30,873
F16 = L12 + 4 T12 = (24,791 + 4 532) 1.67 = 44,954

Page 227 In the expression for Expected profits in Example 9.1 (12 lines from the bottom
of the page), the formula should read
Expected profits = (p-s) NORMDIST((O*- )/ ,0,1,1) -
instead of
Expected profits = (p-s) NORMDIST((O*- )/ ,0,1,0) -
