2) Expansion decision:
The owner of a petrol station is planning to expand the business. The two
options are to build a forecourt to sell petrol or to construct a showroom to
sell cars. The estimated building costs are: petrol forecourt $100, 000; car
showroom $150, 000. The forecast economic consequences or pay-offs
during the expected lives of these investments will depend on the level of
demand in the economy, as shown in the table below. The probability of
demand being low during the life span of these investments is 0.2 and the
probability of high demand is 0.8.
