1. A distributor of automobile parts can order items from three different locations. Because of the structure of shipping costs, it is more profitable to import small quantities from nearby locations. The following payoff table gives the profits possible for different combinations of location and quantity.

	State of Nature (Demand level)
Alternatives	Low	Medium	High
Location 1	210,000	165,000	115,000
Location 2	200,000	165,000	150,000
Location 3	135,000	190,000	222,000

2. Elgard, Inc. is considering expanding the capacity of their store. Success of the decision depends on whether their customers accept the new line of products Elgard is evaluating.

If the store expands and demand for the new line is high, the payoff will be $325, but if the demand is low the payoff will only be $35. If the store does not expand and demand for the new line is high, the payoff will be $150, but if demand is low the payoff will be $100.

The payoff table below summarizes the information given above.

	States of Nature
Alternatives	High demand	Low demand
Expand	325	35
Do not expand	150	100

Perform sensitivity analysis for this problem:

a. Create a graph to show how the expected values of the two options change as the probability of high demand changes from 0 to 1. (Create only ONE graph.)

b. Interpret your graph.
