Olive Branch is a writer of romance novels. A movie company and a TV network both want exclusive rights to one of her most popular works. If she signs with the network she will receive a single lump sum, but if she signs with the movie company, the amount she will receive depends on the market response (box office) to the movie. Olive's payoffs are summarized:   Box Office                                      Small      Medium       Large  Movie Company       $200,000   1,000,000   3,000,000 TV network                 900,000     900,000     900,000   Probability            0.3         0.6         0.1   1. Without any additional information, what is Olive’s best decision?   Additionally, Olive may hire a market research firm to conduct a survey at a cost of $100,000. The result of the survey would be either a "F"avorable or an "U"nfavorable public response to the movie. The firm's historical accuracy, as measured by conditional probabilities is:   P("F"|Small) = .3        P("U"|Small)…
