Example ° ° *
:
The manager of the company has to decide whethesto prepare a bid
or set. It cost P5,000.00 to prepare the bid. If the bid is submitted, °
the probability that the contract will be awarded is 60%. If the
company f awarded the contract, it may earn an income of
P60,000.00 if it succeeds or pay a fine of P15,000 if it fails. The.
probability of success is estimated to be 70%. Should the owner ®
prepare the bid. ae
Solution: cm
At the en of the success branch, P60,000 is the return, but since there is
a cost of P5,000 for bid preparation, then P5,000 should be subtracted, Since a
fine of P15,000 is forced in case of failure, and there is also a cost of P§,000 for
bid preparation, then -15,000-5,000 are indication at the end of the failure
branch. The sign of -5,000 also be indicated at the end of the failure branch. If
the contract is not awarded, there is a cost of P5,000 for bid preparation.
