For example, a large restaurant might be able to stock from 20 to 100 cartons of doughnuts
to meet a demand that ranges from 20 to 100 cartons per day. While this could be modeled using
a payoff table (see Chapter 3), we would have to analyze 101 possible alternatives and states of
nature, which would be quite tedious. A simpler approach for this type of decision is to use marginal,
or incremental, analysis.
