Task 2-0 Students should structure and present their Assignment 2 in the form of a Managerial Report. The expected length of the main body (tasks 2-1 to 2-4) is up to 3 pages APA format, excluding cover page, table of content, executive summary (task 2-5), and appendices (screenshots of the Payoff Table, EMV Table, Sensitivity Analysis Diagram, TreePlan Diagram of the Decision Tree). Submission requirements: Managerial Report (word file), and excel file with completed worksheets (iii) to (vi).
Task 2-1 Prepare payoff tables and develop a decision tree for this problem (without probabilities and EMVs).
Task 2-2 Given the probability of all three economic conditions and using expected monetary values (EMVs), calculate EMVs for each node and answer the questions: (1) What’s the EMV for not hiring a business analyst and the EMV for hiring a business analyst? (2) What is your recommendation: to hire or not to hire a business analyst?
Task 2-3 Use sensitivity analysis to define the probability range with respect to the survey results which might affect the decision to hire or not to hire a business analyst, draw the sensitivity chart, and find the probability for their cross point.
Task 2-4 Apply a software tool for the construction of a decision tree with payoffs, probabilities, and EMVs. The recommended tool is TreePlan: a Microsoft Excel Add-Ins (it is preinstalled on all V-PCs of the MET V-LABs)
