As operations manager of HolzFurniture, you must make a decision about adding a line of rustic furniture. In discussing the possibilities with your salesmanager, SteveGilbert, you decide that there will definitely be a market and that your firm should enter that market.However, because rustic furniture has a different finish than your standardoffering, you decide you need another process line. There is no doubt in your mind about thedecision, and you are sure that you should have a second process. But you do question how large to make it. A large process line is going to cost $400,000; a small process line will cost $325,000. Thequestion, therefore, is the demand for rustic furniture. After extensive discussion with Mr. Gilbert and Tim Ireland of Ireland MarketResearch, Inc., you determine that the best estimate you can make is that there is atwo-out-of-three chance of high demand resulting in $600,000 profit from sales and aone-out-of-three chance of low demand resulting in $325,000 profit from sales.

With a large processline, you could handle the high figure of $600,000. However, with a small process line you could not and would be forced to expand(at a cost of $125,000), after which time your profit from sales would be $500,000 rather than the $600,000 because of the lost time in expanding the process. If you do not expand the smallprocess, your profit from sales would be held to $400,000. If you build a small process and the demand islow, you can handle all of the demand.The best option is to open a __large linesmall line, with an expected value of __ (round your response to the nearest wholenumber).
