Question
Economics Daegu considers producing electric razors for men. If the market demand is high, he would get a return of $100,000, but if there were a low demand for this type of razor, he would lose $60,000. Daegu also considers the possibility of ordering a market survey to gather additional information about the market demand. The survey includes a sophisticated questionnaire administered to a test market and costs $5,000. Daegu believes that there is a 62:38 chance that the market information will be favorable (i.e., predicting a high market demand) and unfavorable (i.e., predicting a low market demand). Furthermore, the probabilities of a favorable survey given a high market demand and an unfavorable survey given a low demand are both 0.8. Daegu is not sure if the value of the survey is worth the cost Draw the decision tree and advise Daegu
