1)here expected value of Full price =1212*0.7+(-313)*0.3=754.5
expected value of Discount =801*0.7+422*0.3=687.3
as expected value for Full price is highest ; therefore Full price is optimal decision.
2)
here expected value with perfect information=1212*0.7+422*0.3=975
threfore expected value of perfect information=expected value with perfect information-expected value without perfect information
=975-754.5=220.5

Myrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from
Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a
full-price service using the company's new fleet of jet aircraft
and a discount service using smaller-capacity commuter planes. It
is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the
service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the
contribution to profit for each type of service based upon two
possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong...

It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based on three possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong, medium and weak.

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 0.81 that demand will
be strong (S1) and a corresponding probability
of 0.19 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...
