A group of medical professionals is considering the construction of a private clinic. If the medical de-mand is high (i.e., there is a favorable market for the clinic), the physicians could realize a net profit of $100,000. If the market is not favorable, they could lose $40,000. Of course, they don’t have to proceed at all, in which case there is no cost. In the absence of any market data, the physicians’ best guess is that there is a 50–50 chance the clinic will be successful. Construct a decision tree to help analyze this problem. What should the medical professionals do? Need to construction a Decision Tree using in Excel OM/QM, so if you could an use excel spreadsheet to solve, this would be idea

You have two design options for your new line of high-resolution monitors for Computer-Aided Design (CAD)workstations. The production run is for 110,000 units. Design option A has a .90 probability of yielding 65good monitors per 100 and a .10 probability of yielding 70good monitors per 100. This design will cost $1,000,000. Design option B has a .80 probability of yielding 65good units per 100 and a .20 probability of yielding 60good units per 100. This design will cost $1,350,000. Good or bad, each monitor will cost $75. Each good monitor will sell for $150. Bad monitors are destroyed and have no salvage value. We ignore any disposal costs in this problem. Demonstrate how decision trees can be used in order to choose the design option based on the above situation. Calculate the expected monetary value (EMV) of each option and determine which option you will propose.
