    1.) The Company has determined that it has two alternatives for improving profits: develop new products either rapidly or thoroughly, or consolidate existing products by strengthening products or reaping without investing. On the first branch of the decision tree we know that the decision to develop thoroughly has a probability of 0.4 in a good market and predicted gains of $500,000. The second State of nature would be a moderate market reaction with a probability of .4 and predicted gains of $25,000. The third state of nature is a poor market reaction with a probability of .2 with predicted gains of $1,000. The expected monetary value (EMV) is determined by multiplying the probability in each state of nature by the predicted gains and then adding sums of each state of nature.
