Suppose a manufacturing plant is considering three options for expansion. The first one is to expand into a new plant (large), the second to add on third-shift to the daily schedule (medium), and the third to do nothing (small). There are three possibilities for demand. These are high, medium, and low with the probability of .5 (H), .25 (M), .25 (L) of occurring. Suppose that the profits for the expansion plans are as follows (respective to high, medium, low demand). The large expansion profits are $100000, $10000, -$10000, the medium expansion choice $40000, $40000, $5000 and the small expansion choice $15000, $15000, $15000.

The J.R. Ryland Computer Company is considering a plant expansion to enable the company to begin production of a new computer product. The company's president must determine whether to make the expansion a medium-or large-scale project. Demand for the new product is uncertain, which for planning purposes may be low demand, mel demand, or high demand. The probability estimates for demand are 0.20, 0.30, and 0.50, respectively. Letting x and y indicate the annual profit in thousands of dollars, the...
