17. Hemmingway, Inc., is considering a $5 million research and development (R&D) project. Profit projections appear promising, but Hemmingway's president is concerned because the probability that the R&D project will be successful is only 0.50. Furthermore, the president knows that even if the project is successful, it will require that the company build a new production facility at a cost of $20 million in order to manufacture the product. If the facil- ity is built, uncertainty remains about the demand and thus uncertainty about the profit that will be realized.

Under this option, the company would not build the $20 million production facility. The decision tree is shown in Figure 13.18. The profit projection for each outcome is shown at the end of the branches. For example, the revenue projection for the high demand outcome is $59 million. However,…
