Question 6

A company is deciding if it should design an advertising system for use on Twitter©.The first option is to skip out on designing,with no net costs or gains.The second option is System A,which would result in additional sales of either $50,000 under good conditions or $10,000 under bad conditions.The final choice is System B,which would increase sales by $20,000 under both good and bad conditions.Suppose that good conditions are twice as likely as bad conditions.Which option should the company pursue if developing a system costs $25,000?

Question 8

JDI,Inc.is trying to decide whether to make or buy a part (#J-45FPT).Purchasing the part would cost $1.50 each.If they design and produce it themselves,it will result in a per unit cost of $0.75.However,the design investment would be $50,000.Further,they realize that for this type of part,there is a 30% chance that the part will need to be redesigned at an additional cost of $50,000.Regardless of whether they make or buy the part,JDI will need 100,000 of these parts.Using decision trees analysis and EMV,what should JDI do? Show the decision tree.
