As operations manager of Holz Furniture, you must make a decision about adding a line of rustic furniture. In discussing the possibilities with your
sales manager, Steve Gilbert, you decide that there will definitely be a market and that your firm should enter that market. However, because rustic
furniture has a different finish than your standard offering, you decide you need another process line. There is no doubt in your mind about the decision,

of Ferrera Market Research, Inc., you determine that the best estimate you can make is that there is a two-out-of-three chance of high demand resulting in
$625,000 profit from sales and a one-out-of-three chance of low demand…
