QUESTION 2 Fashion Buyers II A buyer for a department store must decide on which designs the stores will carry before he knows what the demand will be in the coming season. Choosing a poorly demanded design means lots of unsold merchandise and losses that are 200,000 on average. Passing on a highly demanded design means lots of unsold merchandise and missing out on profits that are 300,000 on average. So long as he is more than 40 confident that the design will be successful, carrying the design will minimize expected decision error costs. Why might he opt to carry designs only if he is more than, say, 50 confident of success? QUESTION 3 For a wheat farmer, the following factor(s) are uncontrollable a. Quality of the wheat b.

Post by: pur on Feb 27, 2018 p300,000 = (1-p)(200,000) or p300,000 = 200,000-p200,000 or p(300,000+200,000) = 200,000 or p = 200,000/(300,000+200,000) = 40. So long as he is more than 40 confident that the design will be successful, carrying the design will minimize expected decision error costs.
