Assignment

Imagine a company has recently developed Chewsy, a new sugar-free gum containing fluoride using a novel nanotechnology. Not only does it taste good, it is good for your teeth. You are faced with the decision to introduce Chewsy to the market.

The total sales of chewing gum are expected to be about $200 million over the next 10 years.

Your marketing personnel believe with their best efforts and an initial marketing expenditure of $4 million, Chewsy could capture from 2 percent to 10 percent of the chewing gum market. They have given you the following probabilities for market share:

Market Share Probabilities
High (10%) 0.30
Medium (6%) 0.50
Low (2%) 0.20

Your financial advisors point out that the profit margin on Chewsy is quite uncertain at this time because of unusual manufacturing requirements. Excluding the one-time marketing expenditure, they say there is a 40 percent chance that operating profit will be 25 percent of sales revenue and a 60 percent chance it will be 50 percent of sales revenue.
