Explanation / Answer

Solution:

In the Maximax decision-making criterion, the maximum value among the maximum states of nature of each alternative is chosen as the return. The appropriate decision and the value of the decision under this decision is calculated as below:

Build new plant = Max. ($300,000 , $210,000 , -$280,000) = $300,000

Subcontract = Max. ($160,000 , $100,000 , -$15,000) = $160,000

Overtime = Max. ($120,000 , $70,000 , -$8,000) = $120,000

Do Nothing = Max. ($0 , $0 , $0) = $0

Finding the maximum of maximum value,

Maximax = Max. ($300,000 , $160,000 , $120,000 , $0)

Maximax = $300,000

The appropriate decision will be Build new plant.

The value of the return under this decision is $300,000.
