You have been pricing Samsung-Galaxy SmartWatch in several stores. Three stores have the identical price of $600. Each store charges 12 percent APR, has a 30-day grace period, and sends out bills on the first of the month.

Economics Daegu considers producing electric razors for men. If the market demand is high, he would get a return of $100,000, but if there were a low demand for this type of razor, he would lose $60,000. Daegu also considers the possibility of ordering a market survey to gather additional information about the market demand. The survey includes a sophisticated questionnaire administered to a test market and costs $5,000. Daegu believes that there is a 62:38 chance that the market information will be favorable (i.e., predicting a high market demand) and unfavorable (i.e., predicting a low market demand). Furthermore, the probabilities of a favorable survey given a high market demand and an unfavorable survey given a low demand are both 0.8. Daegu is not sure if the value of the survey is worth the cost Draw the decision tree and advise Daegu

Due to the seller’s market for high-quality toys for the newest baby boomers, ABC can sell all the bicycles it manufactures at the following prices: boys’ bikes, $220; girls’ bikes, $175.
