Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit would be the sum of all the possibility multiplied. It means,

<em>"We need to multiply the profit by its possibility and add it with the product of the loss and its possibility."</em>

<em />

This will be the expectation, or expected profit.

Let's do it:

Expected Profit = (26,000)(0.7) + (-8000)(0.3) = 15,800

The correct answer is A
