(2) Economy: probability of a recession is 0.4 and its impact would be 7 since the company would probably decide not to advertise. (3) Chance of a loss: a small probability of only 0.3 with a negative impact of 4. (4) Personnel loss (head of marketing is being courted by a competitor): probability of loss is 0.5 hut negative impact is only 3.
