Dan Reid, chief engineer at New Hampshire Chemical, Inc., has to decide whether to build a new state-of-art processing facility. If the new facility works, the company y could realize a profit of $200,000. If it fails, New Hampshire Chemical could lose $150,000. At this time, Reid estimates a 60% chance that the new process will fail. The other option is to build a pilot plant and then decide whether to build a complete facility. The pilot plant would cost $10,000 to build. Reid estimates a fifty-fifty chance that the pilot plant will work. If the pilot plant works, there is a 90% probability that the complete plant, if it is built, will also work. If the pilot plant does not work, there is only a 20% chance that the complete project (if it is constructed) will work. Reid faces a dilemma. Should he build the plant? Should he build the pilot project and then make a decision? Help Reid by analyzing this problem.
