A toy manufacturer has three different mechanisms that can be installed in a doll that it sells. The different mechanisms have three different setup costs (overheads) and variable costs and, therefore, the profit from the dolls is dependent on the volume of sales. The anticipated payoffs are as follows.

Light Demand Moderate Demand Heavy Demand

Probability 0.25 0.45 0.3

Wind-up action $325,000 $190,000 $170,000

Pneumatic action $300,000 $420,000 $400,000

Electrical action -$400,000 $240,000 $800,000
