Minimum Expected opportunity loss is design A = $241,500

Explanation:

Designs Revenues probability expected Revenue

A $120,000 0.3 $36,000

$255,000 0.5 $127,500

$390,000 0.2 $78,000

Total 241,500

B $130,000 0.3 $39,000

$300,000 0.5 $150,000

$480,000 0.2 $96,000

Total 276,000

Design A and Design C are both opportunity losses but between the two opportunity losses Design A is the minimum expected opportunity Loss.
