C.  Report how you analyzed the data using decision tree analysis by doing the following:

1.  Complete a decision tree diagram, including each of the following: 

•   state-of-nature nodes

•   calculated payoffs, each expressed out to two decimal places

•   expected values, each expressed out to two decimal places

2.  Justify why decision tree analysis is the appropriate analysis technique, including relevant details from the scenario to support your justification.

D.  Summarize the implications of your decision tree analysis by doing the following:

1.  Explain the role of probabilities and the role of demand for each branch.

2.  Explain how the expected value of each node is determined based on payoffs.

3.  Discuss one limitation of each of the following:

•   the data elements

•   the decision tree analysis

E.  Recommend a course of action that addresses the business question from part A and is based on the results of your decision tree analysis.
