Question

Build-Rite Construction has received favorable publicity from guest appearances on a public TV home improvement program. Public TV programming decisions seem to be​ unpredictable, so​ Build-Rite cannot estimate the probability of continued benefits from its relationship with the show. Demand for home improvements next year may be either low or high. But​ Build-Rite must decide now whether to hire more​ employees, do​ nothing, or develop subcontracts with other home improvement contractors.​ Build-Rite has developed the following payoff​ table:

Demand for Home Improvements
Alternative
Low
Moderate
High
$395,000
Hire
$187,000
($189,000)
$75,000
$49,000
Subcontract
$291,000
$165,000
$607,000
$322,000
Do nothing
