Takes a list of returns with the figures your own systems already hold and returns one decision per return, with the arithmetic that produced it. Four routes are valued: reselling as is, at the resale value weighted by the probability that it actually sells and less the restocking cost; repairing and reselling, at the refurbished value weighted by the repair success probability plus the salvage value on the failure branch, less the repair cost, which is incurred either way; recovering value…
