Fiero Products, LTD, of Bologna, Italy, makes a variety of footwear, including indoor slippers, children's shoes, and flip-flops. To keep up with increasing demand, it is considering three expansion plans: (1) a small factory with yearly costs of $150,000 that will increase the production of flip-flops to 400,000; (2) a mid-sized factory with yearly costs of $250,000 that will increase the production of flip-flops by 600,000; and (3) a large factory with yearly costs of $350,000 that will increase the production of flip-flops by 900,000. The profit per flip-flop is projected to be $0.75. The probability distribution of demand for flip-flops is considered to be
Demand 300,000 700,000 900,000
Probability 0.2 0.5 0.3
