ayue Is The company is evaluating three different expansion plans: Minor, moderate, or major. They can, of course, also do nothing. Long-term profitability will be a function of future demand growth for the chemical compound. The following payoff table gives the present worth future profitability (in $1,000's) estimated by Unidyde management: Demand Growth for Chemical Compound High Medium Low Do Nothing Minor 140 120 120 Expansion Moderate Major 150 220 -260 250 100 -450 1. What is Unidyde's optimal decision if it wishes to minimize its maximum regret? 2. What is Unidyde's optimal decision if it uses the equal likely criteria? 3. Suppose Unidyde estimates the following probabilities hold for demand growth of the chemical compound: P(High Growth) =.20 P(Medium Growth) = .40 P(Low Growth) =.40 4. What is the most that Unidyde should pay for sample information regarding the compound's future growth? (Hint: calculate the EVPI )

A well-known plastic mould and die manufacturer in Toronto intends to expand internationally in anticipation of strong demand and expansion in the plastic die manufacturing sector. use the table beneath. Using the Maximax, Maximin, and equally likely conditions, assist the business in making the best option in an unclear situation. 0.5 for a highly favourable condition, 0.2 for an average demand, and 0.3 for an unfavourable state are the probabilities linked with the states of nature.a) Choose the course of action that will give Andrew the highest predicted monetary value (EMV).b) Determine the anticipated value of perfect information (EVPI).
The Gorman Manufacturing Company must decide whether to manufacture a component part at its Milan, Michigan, plant or purchase the component part from a supplier. The resulting profit is dependent upon the demand for the product. The following payoff table shows the projected profit (in thousands of dollars): State of Nature Low Demand Medium Demand High Demand Decision Alternative s1 s2 s3 Manufacture, d1 -20 40 100 Purchase, d2 10 45 70 The state-of-nature probabilities are P(s1) = 0.35, P(s2) = 0.35, and P(s3) = 0.30.
