The Technically Techno company has several patents for a variety of different flash memory devices that are used in computers, cell phones, and a variety of other things. A competitor has recently introduced a product based on technology very similar to something patented by Technically Techno last year. Consequently, Technically Techno has sued the other company for patent infringement. Based on the facts in the case as well as the record of the lawyers involved, Technically Techno believes there is a 40% chance that it will be awarded $300,000 if the lawsuit goes to court. There is a 30% chance that Technically Techno will be awarded only

$50,000 if it goes to court and wins, and there is a 30% chance that Technically Techno will lose the case and be awarded nothing. The estimated cost of legal fees if Technically Techno goes to court is

$50,000. However, the other company has offered to pay Technically Techno $75,000 to settle the dispute without going to court. The estimated legal cost of this would be only $10,000. If Technically Techno wished to maximize the expected gain, should it accept the settlement offer?
