Question: A retailer must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location. Demand at the location can be either low

A retailer must decide whether to build a small or a large facility at a new location. Demand
at the location can be either low or high, with probabilities estimated to be 0.4 and 0.6,
respectively. If a small facility is built and demand proves to be high, the manager may
choose not to expand (payoff=$223000) or to expand (payoff=$270000). If a small facility
is built and demand proves to be low, there is no reason to expand and the payoff is
$200000. If a large facility is built and demand proves to be low, the choice is to do nothing
