The consumer assigns the following importance weights: Cushioning = 0.35 Durability = 0.30 Style = 0.20 Price = 0.15 The brands are rated on a 1–10 scale: Brand Cushioning Durability Style Price AeroRun 9 6 7 5 FlexStep 7 8 6 9 StridePro 6 9 8 7 The consumer then applies both a compensatory rule and a non‑compensatory rule with the following minimum cutoff: Price ≥ 9. Compute the compensatory score for each brand and determine which brand wins under a compensatory rule. Next, apply the non‑compensatory rule. Which brand(s) remain? Compare the outcomes and explain why compensatory and non‑compensatory rules may lead to different choices. (1.4 points; word limit: 80 words)
