A toy manufacturer has three different mechanisms that can be installed in a doll that it sells.
The different mechanisms have three different setup costs (overheads) and variable costs and,
therefore, the profit from the dolls is dependent on the volume of sales. The anticipated payoffs
are as follows.
Probability
Wind-up action
Pneumatic action
Electrical action
Light Demand
0.25
$325,000
$300,000
-$400,000
Moderate Demand
0.45
$190,000
$420,000
$240,000
Heavy Demand
0.3
$170,000
$400,000
$800,000
a. Use the Maximax, Maximin, and Equally Likely criterion to determine the best alternative?
b. Calculate the EMV for each decision alternative?
b. Which action should be selected?
c. What is the expected value with perfect information?
d. What is the expected value of perfect information?
