    Hi, I read this article in the acca website of decision trees
    https://www.accaglobal.com/lk/en/student/acca-qual-student-journey/qual-resource/acca-qualification/f5/technical-articles/decision-trees.html
    and i found the method od calculating perfect information easy to use

    but i tried the same method for the june 2013 question on decision trees, unfortunately i didnt get the answer

    can you tell me how to use that same method for that question?

    I am a bit puzzled, because the examiners answer does it the same way.

    If the perfect information tells us that the number will be 6,000, then the choice will be option 1 giving 10.08M (3.36M x 3) or option 2 giving 9.9M ((3 x3.42M) – 0.36) – so we would choose option 1 and get 10.08M.

    If the perfect information tells us that the number will be 6,500 then the choice will be option 1 giving 10.08M (3.36M x 3) or option 2 giving 10.755M ((3 x 3.705) – 0.36) – se would choose option 2 and get 10.755M.

    We know the probabilities that the information will be 6,000 (0.4) and that it will be 6,500 (0.6) so we can calculated the expected value if we have perfect information.

    The free lecture on decision trees may help you.

    I have absolutely no idea – I do not write the exam!

    You can find my guesses on the main F5 page of this website.
