# ASSIGNMENT QUESTION/PROBLEM/CASE
Mr. X of ABC Ltd. wants to introduce a new product in the market. He has a choice of two
different research and development plans A and B. A costs Rs. 10 lakhs and has a 40 percent
chance of success whereas B costs. Rs. 5 lakhs with a 30 percent chance of success. In the
event of a success, Mr. X has to decide whether or not to advertise the product heavily or
lightly. Heavy advertising will cost Rs. 4 lakhs but gives a 0.7 probability of full
1 acceptance and 0.3 probability of partial acceptance by the market. Light advertising will
cost Rs. 1 lakh with a probability 0.5 of full acceptance and 0.5 probability of partial
acceptance. Full market acceptance of the product developed as per plan A would be worth Rs.
40 lakhs and as per plan B would be worth Rs. 30 lakhs. Partial acceptance in both the cases
will be worth Rs. 20 lakhs. Which plan should Mr. X adopt and what sort of advertising will be
done for marketing the product? Solve the problem with the help of a decision tree.

Subject to
6 X + y + z  100,
10x + 4y + 5z  600,
2x + 2y + 6z  300,
And x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and z ≥ 0.
