Problem 16A Payoff Tables

Based on the cost model and payoff table provided, determine the average payoff strategy, aggressive, and conservative recommendation. Remember that this payoff table is based on cost so you will want to recommend decisions under each strategy which minimize cost.

Enter your answer in the table by stating whether manufacturing or outsources would be the best choice for each strategy and the value associated with that option.
