A manager is in a dilemma whether to purchase boards for kitchen cabinets from a vendor at $6 each or to produce them in-house. For In-house production there are two processes the first option has annual fixed cost of $150,000 and variable cost of $4 per unit, while the other has annual fixed cost of $1 80,000 and variable cost of S4 per unit. Determine the volume that would be best for each of them.

Internally, they have two choices Process A requires an investment of $120,000 for design and equipment, but results in a $4 per unit cost. Process B requees only a $100,000 investment, but its per unit cost is $5. Regardless of whether the item is subcontracted or produced internally, there is a 50% chance that they will sell 0.000 units, and a 50% chance that they will sell 100,000 units Draw the decision tree approptiate to the alternatives and outcomes stated.
