A store owner must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location. Demand at a location can be either small or large, which probabilities estimated to be 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If small facility is built and demand proves to be high, the manager may choose not to expand (payoff=P235,000) or to expand (payoff=P275,000). If a small facility is built and demand is low, there is no reason to expand and the payoff is P220,000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, the choice is to do nothing (P60,000) or to stimulate demand through local advertising. The response to advertising may be either modest or sizable, with their probabilities estimated to be 0.3 and 0.7, respectively. If it is modest, the payoff grows to P230,000 if the response is sizable. Finally, if a large facility is built and demand turns out to be high, the payoff is P900,000.

- Problem 3: A group of doctors is considering the construction of a private clinic. IF the medical demand is high (favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a profit of P1,000,000. If the market is not favorable they could lose P400,000. If they don’t proceed at all, there is no cost. In the absence of any market research, the best the physician can guess is that there is a 50-50 chance the clinic will be successful. Required: Construct a decision tree to help analyze this problem. What should the doctors do? Problem 4: Continuing with problem 3, a firm open to conduct a market research involving the proposed venture and using analytical tools can give an accurate information, thus gave the following info: Probability of a favorable market given a favorable study is 0.82 Probability of an unfavorable market given a favorable study is 0.18 Probability of a favorable market given an unfavorable study is 0.11 Probability…2.

Amounts are in millions of dollars.State of NatureDecision Alternative Strong Demand S1 Weak Demand S2Small complex, d1 8 7Medium complex, d2 15 3Large complex, d3 20 -82. Suppose PDC is optimistic about the potential for the luxury high-rise condominium complex and that this optimism leads to an initial subjective probability assessment of 0.83 that demand will be strong (S1) and a corresponding probability of 0.17 that demand will be weak (S2). Assume the decision alternative to build the large condominium complex was found to be optimal using the expected value approach. Also, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for the payoffs associated with this decision alternative. It was found that the large complex remained optimal as long as the payoff for the strong demand was greater than or equal to $17.25 million and as long as the payoff for the weak demand was greater than or equal…

Dantey Development Corporation is considering bidding on a contract for a new office building complex. Dantey's Company must decide whether to bid on the contract or not. The cost of preparing the bid is $200,000. Based on past experience the company has a 0.80 probability of winning the contract if it submits a bid. If the company wins the bid, it will have to pay $2,000,000 to become a partner in the project. Dantey Company will consider doing a market research study to forecast demand for the office units prior to beginning construction if the company wins the contract. The cost of this study is $150,000. The possible outcomes of the market research study can either be high or moderate forecasts. The likelihood of high forecast is 0.60. Dantey CEO must decide either to build the office complex or sell the rights in the project to another developer upon wining the contract whether the market research study was conducted or not.
