A company, Duzi Infrastructure, is considering whether it should propose two contracts (Contract-A and Contract-B) on offer from a government department for the supply of certain components. Duzi Infrastructure has three options:
propose for Contract-A only; or
propose for Contract-B only; or
propose for both Contract-A and Contract-B.
If proposals are to be submitted the company will incur additional costs. The cost of proposing for Contract-A only is $30,000. The component supply cost if the proposal is accepted would be $18,000. The cost of proposing for Contract-B only is $14,000. The component supply cost if the proposal is accepted would be $8,000. The cost of proposing for both Contract-A and Contract-B is $43,000. The component supply cost if the proposal is accepted would be $24,000.
For each option (Contract-A only; Contraction-B only; and Contraction-A and Contraction-B both) possible prices that Duzi Infrastructure will take are determined differently depending the bidding condition; that is, how competitive the bidding is. The below table shows how the possible prices vary for each bidding condition and option.
\table[[Options,Bidding condition,Probability,Price ($)],[Contract-A only,Competitive,0.2,100,000],[Non-competitive,0.8,130,000],[Competitive,0.4,60,000],[,Neural,0.25,90,000],[,Non-competitive,0.35,15000],[\table[[Contract-A and Contract B],[both]],Competitive,0.6,190,000],[Non-competitive,0.4,]]
To maximize the profit (Price - estimated cost), what options Duzi Infrastructure should take? Answer using decision-tree analysis.
