Unfortunately, you must build the homes before you learn how strong demand is for homes in this large neighborhood. There is a 60 percent chance of low demand and a 40 percent chance of high demand. The corresponding (inverse) demand functions for these two scenarios are P = 400,000 −400Q and P = 900,000 −250Q, respectively. Your cost function is C(Q) = 125,000 + 430,000Q.
