Q1. Avon cosmetics wishes to determine whether or not to make a new face powder. The marketing manager may order a consumer testing program for 50,000. The present value of all future profits for a successful product is P1,000,000. The brands failure will result in a net loss of P500,000. Not marketing the face powder will not affect the profit. The manager judges that the face powder would have 60% chance of success without testing.

Customer testing will either be favorable (60%) or unfavorable. Given a favorable result, the chance of product success is judged to be 75%. But for unfavorable test result, the face powder's probability is judged to be 40%. Construct a decision tree diagram. Should Avon cosmetics push the approach? Explain why?
