3. Decision Theory. Three radio stations call them X, Y, and Z compete for advertising share of market. At the end of last year, X has 20% of the market. Its competitors, stations Y and Z each had 40% of the market. During last year, total sales for the three stations were $100 millions and station X has a net income of 5% on its sales. Both these figures are expected to remain the same for the next year. Station X's manager suggests that if during next year X would spend additional 100 thousand dollars on selling, X would retain 85% of its customers while gaining 8% of Y's customers and 7% Z's. Company Y is expected to retain 85% of its customers while gaining 10% from X and 3% from Z. Company Z is expected to retain 90% of its customers while gaining 5%from X and 7% from Y. Should company X make the additional expenditure for selling? Justify your answer.
