I have already solved the math portion (Expected cost = $2.2M and Expected Rev = $4.4M). I need someone to either check my drawing of the decision tree or post one so I can check it against mine. A risk-neutral firm is considering expanding output to supply an expected increase in demand. The cost of this initiative is expected to be $2 million (probability 0.8) or $3 million (probability 0.2). Revenues will be $5 million if demand is indeed strong (probability 0.7) but only $3 million if demand is weak (probability 0.3). Construct a decision tree to determine whether the firm should undertake the expansion.

Thus, decision trees do not include expected values, and the branches end at net profits or benefits or utility (expected values are calculated later on using these end values).
Correspondingly, we have the following decision tree for the given situation:
