2. Company X wants to decide if it should undertake a test market for a new product it plans to launch. If the new product is launched without a test market being conducted, and if it is successful, the company expects an inflow of $ 30 million.

a. Compute the appropriate values of the outcomes for each of the nine end-nodes of the decision tree and fill in the appropriate numbers in the nine yellow boxes provided in Table 1 underneath the figure.
