TM 732Engr. Economics for Managers Decision Analysis
Prototype Ex. 2 Digger Construction is interested in purchasing 1 of 3 cranes. The cranes differ in capacity, age, and mechanical condition, but each is fully capable of performing the jobs expected. The firm anticipates a growing market and that there will be sufficient demand to justify each of the cranes. However, low, medium, and high growth estimates result in different cash flow profiles for each crane. Based on ATCF at 15%, the analyst estimates the following NPWs for each of the cranes for each of the growth market conditions.
Decision Matrix EUAW
Matrix Decision Model Aj = alternative strategy j under decision makers control Sk = a state or possible future that can occur given Aj pk = the probability state Sk will occur
Matrix Decision Model V(jk) = the value of outcome jk (terms of $, time, distance, . . ) jk = the outcome of choosing Aj and having state Sk occur
