Hallo

First, your code has a typo error. The lower limit of your integral in
the definition of pif should read cn (not c_n).

Second, the second argument of the function "ExpectedValue" should be a
distribution: i.e. you should use "NormalDistribution[µc, sc]" as
your second argument and not your definition (using the PDF).

With these changes Mathematica returned (after some seconds) the
following expression:

\!\(\[ExponentialE]\^\(\(r\ \((2\ \@p\ \((ch - W + ß\ \((\(-p\)\ q +
q\ µc + \
b\ Po\ µq)\))\) - \@2\ b\ ß\ µq\ sc + \@p\ r\ ß\^2\ \((q - a\
µq)\)\^2\ \
sc\^2)\)\)\/\(2\ \@p\)\)\)

I hope this is what you want / expect.
