In the diagram below, treat the section of the tree following each decision point as a separate mini decision tree. In this case there are three distinct diagrams with decision points A, B and C as the three starting points. The net expected value at the decision point B and C then become the outcomes of choice nodes 1 and 2. 1. Using the decision shown above, calculate which option should be selected on purely financial grounds. Show all your calculations to support your answer. 2.
