Anand Publishing Company received a six-chapter manuscript for a new college textbook. The editor of the college division isfamiliar with the manuscript and estimated a 0.6513 probability that the textbook will be successful. If successful, a profit of$950,000 will be realized. If the company decides to publish the textbook and it is unsuccessful, a loss of $150,000 will occur.Before making the decision to accept or reject the manuscript, the editor is considering sending the manuscript out for review.A review process provides either a favorable (F) or an unfavorable (U) evaluation of the manuscript. Past experience with thereview process suggests probabilities P(F) = 0.7 and P(U) = 0.3 apply. Let s₁ = the textbook is successful, and$₂ = the textbook is unsuccessful. The editor's initial probabilities of s₁ and s₂ will be revised based on whether the review isfavorable or unfavorable. The revised probabilities are as follows:P(S₁IF): = 0.75P(S₂IF): = 0.25P(S₁IU) = 0.421P(s₂|U) = = 0.579(a) Construct a decision tree assuming that the company will first make the decision of whether to send the manuscript outfor review and then the decision to accept or reject the manuscript.

Answered: Image /qna-images/answer/dbfe15e7-f7fd-4b4c-a36a-b7540c6e8284.jpgAs per the question, it is assumed that the manuscript review process is free and the optimal decision strategy is to be determined. By observing the calculations done in the diagram, it can be easily recommended to always accept. The reason is that in both the scenarios (without any charge levied for review), EMV is same i.e., $566,430.Review cost =$5, 000Recommendation:EMV from sending for review = $566,430-$5,000 = $561,430EMV from not sending for review = $566,430Thus, it is recommended "Do not review and accept"Thus, the EVPI is $0b) It is recommended to always accept.c) It is recommended "Do not review and accept"d) EVPI=$0
