A firm will produce either product A or B. The total costs (TC) for both products can be estimated by the equations Product A: TC = $300,000 + ($23 x Sales volume) Product B: TC = $100,000 + ($29 x Sales volume) The firm believes there is a 20% chance for the sales volume of each product to equal 10,000 units and an 80% chance they will both equal 20,000 units. The selling price of product A is $42, and the selling price of product B is $40. The expected profit from producing product B equals a. $680,000 b. $390,000 c. $98,000 d. $120,000
