various external factors, including fuel price fluctuations, demand stability, and
competition growth, which we categorize as the states of nature. Each alternative
presents unique advantages and challenges, and our goal is to select the most
viable option using a structured decision-making approach.
Alternatives and States of Nature
The three alternatives for fleet expansion were chosen based on their cost
implications, operational efficiency, and…
