One of your customers has been asking for the latest polo shirt which has been gaining popularity in Canada. Your customer guaranteed a one-year contract for supplying the product. You have to make a decision within a week to outsource or not. If you do not outsource, you can earn $250,000 with certainty. You realize that there is risk inherent with outsourcing.

There is a 30% chance that duties will stay the same as now. There is a 20% chance that duties will be eliminated. If new duties are imposed, you will break even on your venture. If duties stay the same, you can earn $300,000. If duties are eliminated, you can earn $400,000. You remember learning of a technique to help you make a decision within the next hour, and determined that is best to: Outsource Not outsource and breakeven Outsource and pay duties Not outsource
