8) A chemical company has three options: (i) commercial production, (ii) pilot plant and 1 point
(iii) no production. The cost of constructing a pilot plant is Rs 3 lacs. If a pilot plant is built,
chances of high and low yield are 80% and 20% respectively. In the case of high yield from the
pilot plant, there is a 75% chance of high yield from the commercial plant. In the case of low yield
from the pilot plant, there is only a 10% chance of high yield from the commercial plant. If the
company goes for commercial plant directly without constructing a pilot plant, then there are 60%
chance of high yield. The company earns Rs 1,20,00,000 in high yield and loses Rs 12,00,000 in
low yield. The optimum decision for the company is:

A. Commercial Production.
B. Pilot plant
C. No Production
D. None of the above.

You may submit any number of times before the due date. The final submission will be
