Question 6
Ephemeral Services Corporation (ESCO) knows that nine other companies

besides ESCO are bidding for a $900,000 government contract. Each
company has an equal chance of being awarded the contract. If ESCO has
already spent $100,000 in developing its bidding proposal, what is its
expected net profit?
