Question

The new owner of a beauty shop is trying to decide whether to hire one, two, or three beauticians. She estimates that profits next year (in thousands of dollars) will vary with demand for her services, and she has estimated demand in three categories, low, medium, and high. NUMBER OF BEAUTICIANS DEMAND LOW MEDIUM HIGH One 50 75 100 Two 0 100 100 Three (100 ) 70 300 If she feels the chances of low, medium, and high demand are 50 percent, 20 percent, and 30 percent respectively, what are the expected annual profits for the number of beauticians she will decide to hire?

Answer 1

the expected annual profit for the number of beauticians is $70,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the expected annual profit for the number of beauticians is shown below:

= 50 × 0.50 + 75 × 0.20 + 100 × 30

= 25 + 15 + 30

= 70

= $70,000

hence the expected annual profit for the number of beauticians is $70,000. The same is to be considered

All other information that are mentioned should be ignored
