Please help me with the third question, thank you !
The Widget Factory is considering an expansion of manufacturing capacity at a cost of $1,000,000. The cost for no expansion is $0. There is an estimated 0.4 chance of a Better Economy as opposed to a Worse Economy. The current facility can produce enough goods for a $2,500,000 profit in a Better Economy and a $600,000 profit in a Worse Economy. The expanded facility could produce enough goods for a $4,500,000 profit in a Better Economy and a $1,250,000 profit in a Worse Economy. Jerry Lind is a writer of adventure novels. A movie company and a TV network each want exclusive rights to one of her more popular books. If she signs with the network, she will receive a single lump sum payment of $900,000. If she signs with the movie company the amount she receives will depend on the market response to the movie. If the movie has a "small" market acceptance she will get $600,000. If the movie has a "medium" market acceptance she will get $850,000. A "large" market acceptance would pay her $1,000,000. The probability for "small" is 0.3, "medium" is 0.6, and "large" is 0.1.
