Senior management at Humber bakery requested a new analysis based on adjusting the selling price and the number of units produced under each production plan. Initial probability estimates are also updated. Resulting gross profits ($) and state of nature probabilities are given in the following payoff table. Light Production Moderate Production Heavy Production Probability Low Demand Medium Demand High Demand 13,850 -500 -31,250 0.4 23,000 23,900 -6,850 0.1 23,000 30,000 45,000 0.5 The new analysis also necessitated updating the offer made to Bramptinos under the heavy production plan. If Humber chooses the heavy production plan, the probability that Bramptinos will accept the new offer is 25% and the associated gross profit is determined to be $40,500. Again here, if Bramptinos declines the offer, the loaves will still sell based on current demand conditions (low, medium, or high).
