Billy B. decided four years ago to add high bush blueberries to his commercial vegetable farm near Whitesville. The first two years he did not harvest any berries. In the third year he had a very small crop but was not able to sell to the public. This year things look very good for the crop and he expects to produce 3000 pints. Billy has done a good job of keeping up with his costs, which include variable cost of $953.54, fixed cost of $863.92, and labor cost of $600.

Jody of Jody’s Custom Tailoring is considering expandingher growing business. Th e question is whether to expand with abigger facility than she needs or with a small facility, knowing thatshe will have to reconsider expanding in three years.Jody has estimated the following chances for demand:• Th e likelihood of demand being high is 0.50.• Th e likelihood of demand being low is 0.50.
She has also estimated profi ts for each alternative:• Large expansion has an estimated profi tability of either$200,000 or $100,000, depending on whether demand turnsout to be high or low.• Small expansion has a profi tability of $80,000, assuming thatdemand is low.• Small expansion with an occurrence of high demand wouldrequire considering whether to expand further. If thebusiness expands at that point, the profi tability is expectedto be $120,000. If it does not expand further, the profi tabilityis expected to be $70,000.Draw a decision tree and solve it. What should Jody’s CustomTailoring do?
