This paper explores a study of coalitions for decision making in division of joint costs. For this, it uses a methodology called Shapley Value (found in the literature as an application of game theory) to find a decision of cost sharing (either apportionment of profits). In this paper a numerical example is illustrated and its solution obtained from the modeling using the Microsoft Excel and solver optimization tool.
