Steve’s Mountain Bicycle Shop is considering three options for its facility next year. Steve can expand his current shop, move to a larger facility, or make no change. With a good market, the annual payoff would be $76,000 if he expands, $90,000 if he moves, and $40,000 if he does nothing. With an average market, his payoffs will be $30,000, $41,000, and $15,000, respectively. With a poor market, his payoff will be –$17,000, – $28,000, and $4,000, respectively.
