Decision Trees. For questions 12 and 13, please use the following information: Ang Electronics, Inc., has developed a new DVDR. If the DVDR is successful, the present value of the payoff (when the product is brought to market) is $28.6 million. If the DVDR fails, the present value of the payoff is $10.2 million.
