You are managing a business that design products for specific medical purposes. Your potential demand is very short lived and uncertain. Your production cycle is very long which means you need to have the products ready in advance. If the demand for your product arises (only 30% chance), they will be sold well; if not, the products will remain unsold, and you will need to liquidate them for 500 each.

You will sell your product for $12500. Suppose you make 18000 products, and you get lucky and demand will occur this year. What is your expected profit?
