    HI Sir
    Sales per week
    Sales (units) Probability
    10 0.3
    20 0.5
    30 0.2
    Selling price: $20 p.u.
    Cost: $10 p.u.
    Any unsold units must be sold as scrap for $1 p.u.
    The company can contract to purchase 10, 20 or 30 units each week

    please I need to know how you calculated the maximum regret here. I can’t figure it out. thx

    Have you watched the lecture? (There is no point in using the course notes without the lectures – I go through the example in the lecture and explain it).

    I cannot type out the entire lecture here.
    We produce the regret table. Since they are regrets (losses) the worst outcome in each case is the maximum (i.e. biggest) regret.
