The aircraft gets high markson all performance measures except noise. In fact, because of the noise,the consortium’s management is concerned that the U.S. government mayimpose restrictions on some of the American airports where the aircraftcan land. Management judges a 50–50 chance that there will be somerestrictions. Without restrictions, management estimates its (presentdiscounted) profit at $125 million; with restrictions, its profit would beonly $25 million. Management must decide now, before knowing thegovernment’s decision, whether to redesign parts of the aircraft to solvethe noise problem. The cost of the redesign program is $25 million. Thereis a .6 chance that the redesign program will solve the noise problem (inwhich case, full landing rights are a certainty) and a .4 chance it will fail.
