A firm must decide whether to construct a small, medium, or large stamping plant. A consultant’s report indicates a .20 probabil
ity that demand will be low and an .80 probability that demand will be high. If the firm builds a small facility and demand turns out to be low, the net present value will be $42 million. If demand turns out to be high, the firm can either subcontract and realize the net present value of $42 million or expand greatly for a net present value of $48 million. The firm could build a medium-size facility as a hedge: If demand turns out to be low, its net present value is estimated at $22 million; if demand turns out to be high, the firm could do nothing and realize a net present value of $46 million, or it could expand and realize a net present value of $50 million. If the firm builds a large facility and demand is low, the net present value will be −$20 million, whereas high demand will result in a net present value of $72 million. b. What is the maximin alternative? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Answer: $3865.8
Explanation:
The formula to find the simple interest is given by :-
, where P is the initial amount deposited , r is the rate of interest in decimal and t is the time period in years.
Given : P= $1700 ; r= 9.8%=0.098 ; t=13 years
Then , the simple interest earned in 13 years will be :-
Now, the combined amount = P+I =$1700+$2165.8= $3865.8
Hence, the credit union would owe Heather $3865.8 in 13 years.
