The uncertainty faced is the expected growth in the on-line market it serves, which could grow at 15%, 30% or even 40% in the next period. Shuffles has correctly produced the following decision table and has calculated the average daily contribution gained from each combination of truck and growth assumption.   

Based upon the scenario information, if the buyer was prone to regretting decisions that have been made which truck would the buyer purchase?  Enter only the letter:

 A supplier will supply company A in batches of 100 units, but daily demand is unpredictable. Company A has prepared a payoff table to reflect the expected profits if different quantities are purchased and in differing market demand conditions.
