Answer:

$3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There two possible outcomes:

There is a 3/4 chance that the bid is rejected for a value of -$1,400

There is a 1/4 chance that the bid is accepted for a value of $17,600 - $1,400.

The expected value of the situation is:

E = \frac{3}{4}*(-1,400)+\frac{1}{4}*(17,600-1,400)\\E=\$3,000

The expected value is $3,000.
