The Hard to Beat Bakery is deciding whether to buy or repair an existing oven that they have been using for over 8 years. If they elect to repair, it will cost the entity $950,000 and either of two outcomes is likely: 1. A 20% probability it will perform okay and generate revenues of $10,000,000, or 2. An 80% chance that it will be partially restored and generate revenue of $2,000,000. If on the other hand however, they purchase a new oven, they can either buy an imported oven for $3,500,000 or they can buy a locally made one for $2,200,000. If the elect to purchase the imported oven, production will earn them revenues of $15,550,000, but if they buy the locally made oven, there is a 70% likelihood that it perform as expected and generate revenues of $12,000,000; and a 30% chance that it will not and generate revenues of $6,000,000. Required: 1. Draw a decision tree of this problem and determine the expected value. (10 marks)

2. Advise the management of the Bakery on how to proceed.
