profit the company is likely to receive after selling all the 200,000 boards to SAEL. In addition, a decision tree for BUYU is drawn and BUYU's preferred course of action is discussed. The other aspect looked at in the paper is the expected value of perfect information about whether SAEL will exercise its option.

Profit for Manufacturing Boards

Total fixed costs is $250, 000

Marginal cost is $2per board = 2 x 200,000 boards = $400,000

Variable cost = sum of marginal costs of all units produced = $400,000

Total cost = variable costs + fixed costs

= 400,000 + 250,000 = 650,000

Contribution = sales -- variable costs

= (selling price x product units) -- variable costs

= (5 x 200,000) -- 400,000

= 1,000,000 -- 400,000 = 600,000

Contribution per unit = total contribution / product units

= 600,000 / 200,000 = 3

Breakeven = fixed costs / contribution per unit

= 250,000 / 3 = 83,333

83,333 is the number of products the company has to sell before earning any profit.
