The Gorman Manufacturing Company must decide whther to manufacture a component part at its Milan, Michigan plant or purchase he component part from a supplier. The resulting profit is dependent upon the demand for the product. The following payoff table shows the projected profit (in thousands of dollars):


State of Nature

Low Demand Medium Demand High Demand
Decsision Alternative S? S? S?
Manufacture d? -20 40 100
Purchase d? 10 45 70

The state of nature probabiliites are P(s1) = 0.35, P(s2) = 0.35 and P(s3) = 0.30

A) use a decision tree to reccomend a decision (I did this dont need A)

B) Use EVPI (Expected value of perfect information) to detmerine whether Gorman should attempt to obtain a better estimate of deamnd.

C) A test market study of the potential demand for the product is expected to report either a favorable (F) or unfavorable (U) condition. The relevant conditional probabilities are as follows:

P(F / s1) = 0.10 (Line between F and S is straight line in book but cant do that here so dont see as divide please)

P(F / S2) = .040

P(F / S3) = .0.60

P(U / S1) = .0.90

P(U / S2) = .0.60

P(U / S3) = .0.40

What is the probability that the market research report will be favorable?

D) What is Gorman's optimal decision strategy?

E) What is the expected value of the market research information?
