Answer:

c. $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the expected net profit of Ephemeral services corporation

Since we are been told that 9 other companies besides esco are as well bidding for the $900,000 government contract, it means we have to find the expected net profit by dividing 1 by 9×$900,000 .Thus ESCO can only expect to cover its sunk cost.

Hence ,

E(X) = (1/9) × $900,000

E(X)=0.111111111×$900,000

E(X)= $100,000

Therefore the expected net profit would be $100,000

1 \text{ part beans} \longrightarrow  1\dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ parts rice}

1 \dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ part beans} \longrightarrow  1\dfrac{1}{2}  \times 1 \dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ parts rice}

1 \dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ part beans} \longrightarrow  \dfrac{3}{2}  \times \dfrac{3}{2}  \text{ parts rice}

1 \dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ part beans} \longrightarrow  \dfrac{9}{4} \text{ parts rice}

1 \dfrac{1}{2}  \text{ part beans} \longrightarrow  2\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ parts rice}
