Product Details

Galaxy Micro Systems is negotiating with a vendor about the cost of service support for the warranty on Galaxy's new workstation. The vendor has offered Galaxy a choice between a fixed-price, lump-sum contract and a deferred-payment scheme based on the number of units installed. Uncertainty in the sales forecast complicates the choice. All uncertainties are expressed in terms of discrete probabilities.
