Chapter 1.S, Problem 19P
In Problem S1-18, assume the Weight Club is able to estimate probabilities of occurrence for each possible future demand state, as follows:
Determine the best decision using expected value.
The Weight Club (see Case Problem 1.3) is considering adding a new service facility among several possible alternatives including a child care center, a swimming pool, new locker rooms and showers, a health-oriented food court, and a spa. The success of each alternative depends on their demand (i.e., new members who would join because of the new facility), which is uncertain. The following payoff table summarizes the returns (based on costs and increased enrollments) for each alternative service facility given three future levels of demand.
Determine the best decision for the club using the following criteria.
- a. Maximax
- b. Minimax
- c. Hurwicz (α = .45)
- d. Equal likelihood

- A logistics provider plans to have a new warehouse built to handle increasing demands for its services. Although the company is unsure of how much demand there will be, it must decide now on the size (large or small) of the warehouse. Preliminary estimates are that if a small warehouse is built and demand is low, the monthly income will be $700,000. If demand is high, it will have to either expand the facility or lease additional space. Leasing will result in a monthly income of $100,000 while expanding will result in a monthly income of $500,000. If a large warehouse is built and demand is low, monthly income will only be $40,000, while if demand is high, monthly income will be $2 million.a. Construct a tree diagram for this decision.b.

The decision as to which option they should select is predicated upon the estimation of the direction of the economy for the next four years.

Management is trying to determine whether one or two lifts will be necessary; each lift can accommodate 250 people per day. Skiing normally occurs in the 14-week period from December to April, during which the lift will operate seven days per week. The first lift will operate at 90 percent capacity if economic conditions are bad, the probability of which is believed to be about a 0.3. During normal times the first lift will be utilized at 100 percent capacity, and the excess crowd will provide 50 percent utilization of the second lift. The probability of normal times is 0.5. Finally, if times are really good, the probability of which is 0.2, the utilization of the second lift will increase to 90 percent. The equivalent annual cost of installing a new lift, recognizing the time value of money and the lift’s economic life, is $50,000.
