TABLE 5-8 Two Different Designs on a New Line of Winter Jackets

question 91

Short Answer

TABLE 5-8
Two different designs on a new line of winter jackets for the coming winter are available for your manufacturing plants. Your profit (in thousands of dollars) will depend on the taste of the consumers when winter arrives. The probability of the three possible different tastes of the consumers and the corresponding profits are presented in the following table.

-Referring to Table 5-8, if your investment preference is to minimize the amount of risk that you have to take and do not care at all about the expected profit, will you choose a production mix that will consist of 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, or 90% of your production lines for Design A and the remaining for Design B?
