The construction manager for Acme Construction, Inc. must decide whether to build single family homes, apartments, or condominiums. This is not a product-mix problem, but an all-or nothing decision. He will hire workers and rent equipment appropriate for one action only. He estimates annual profits (in thousands of dollars) will vary with population trends as follows:
| Dwelling type | Population steady | Population grows slowly | Population grows rapidly |
| Single family | $100 | $90 | $70 |
| Apartments | 50 | 170 | 90 |
| Condominiums | -20 | 100 | 220 |
