Amy Lloyd is interested in leasing a new Saab and has contacted three automobile dealers for pricing information. Each dealer offered Amy a closed-end 36-month lease with no down payment due at the time of signing. Each lease includes a monthly charge and a mileage allowance. Additional miles receive a surcharge on a per-mile basis. The monthly lease cost, the mileage allowance, and the cost for additional miles follows: Dealer Monthly Cost Mileage Allowance Cost per Additional MileForno Saab$29936,000$0.15Midtown Motors$31045,000$0.20Hopkins Automotive$32554,000$0.15Amy decides to choose the lease option that will minimize her total 36-month cost. The difficulty is that Amy is not sure how many miles she will drive over the next there years. For the purposes of this decision she believes it is reasonable to assume that she will drive 12,000 miles per year, 15,000 miles per year, or 18,000 miles per year. With this assumption Amy estimates her total cost for the three lease options. For example, she figures that the Forno Saab lease will cost her $10,764 if she drives 12,000 miles per year, $12,114 if she drives 15,000 miles per year, or $13,464 if she drives 18,000 miles per year.a. What is the decision, and what is the chance event? (3pts)b. Construct a payoff table for Amy’s problem. (7 pts)c. If Amy has no idea which of the three mileage assumption is most appropriate, what is the recommended decision (leasing option) using the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches? (15 pts)d. Suppose that the probabilities that Amy drives 12,000, 15,000 and 18,000 miles per year are 0.5, 0.4, and 0.1, respectively. What option should Amy choose using the expected value approach? (5 pts)e. Develop a risk profile for the decision selected in part (d). What is the most likely cost, and what is the probability? (5 pts)f. Suppose that after further consideration Amy concludes that the probabilities that she will drive 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 miles per year are 0.3, 0.4, and 0.3, respectively. What decision should Amy make using the expected value approach? (5 pts
