5. The owner of The East End Technology Company has collected statistics on previous deÂmand:
Daily Demand 0 10 20 30 40 or more
# of days 5 8 15 12 10
a. Using the expected monetary value model, what is the best development alÂterÂnaÂtive?
b. What is the value of perfect information?
c. Draw the decision tree for this problem.
d. Using the maximum likelihood criteria, determine the best alternative.
First calculate the probability of each number being sold
Daily Demand # of days Probability
0 5 0.1 =5/50
10 8 0.16 =8/50 and so on
20 15 0.3
30 12 0.24
40 or more 10 0.2
50 1
Conditional Profit Table
Possible Demand (Sales) Possible Stock action
0 10 20 30 40
0 0.00 (7.50) (15.00) (22.50) (30.00)
10 0.00 15.00 7.50 0.00 (7.50)
20 0.00 15.00 30.00 22.50 15.00
30 0.00 15.00 30.00 45.00 37.50
40 0.00 15.00 30.00 45.00 60.00
a. Using the expected monetary value model, what is the best development alÂterÂnaÂtive?
Expected profit from stocking 0
Demand Probability Conditional Profit Expected Profit=Conditional profit X Prob
0 0.1 $0.00 $0.00
10 0.16 $0.00 $0.00
20 0.3 $0.00 $0.00
30 0.24 $0.00 $0.00 ...
