2. Suppose the probability a plant is destroyed in year 1 is 2% and the probability a plant is destroyed in year 2 assuming it was not destroyed previously is 4%. When the plant is destroyed, it would cost $249219 to replace. Assumed the interest rate is 5%, what is the expected replacement cost, round to nearest dollar? You'll need to find the expected cost each year and discount them at 5%.
