Demand at the location can be either low or high, with probabilities estimated to be 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If a small plant is built, and demand is high, the production manager may choose to maintain the current size or to expand. The net present value of profits is $223,000 if the firm chooses not to expand. However, if the firm chooses to expand, there is a 50% chance that the net present value of the returns will be 330,000 and a 50% chance the estimated net present value of profits will be $210,000. If a small facility is built and demand is low, there is no reason to expand and the net present value of the profits is $200,000. However, if a large facility is built and the demand turns out to be low, the choice is to do nothing with a net present value of $40,000 or to stimulate demand through local advertising.
