The company could keep it in inventory for a possible future product and estimates that the reservation value is $250,000. Your dealings on the secondhand market lead you to believe that there is a 0.4 chance a random buyer will pay $300,000, a 0.25 chance the buyer will pay $350,000, a 0.1 chance the buyer will pay $400,000, and a 0.25 chance it will not sell.If you must commit to a posted price, what price maximizes profits? Use the following table:

Price	Prob. of sale	Expected profit

$350,000	35%	.35(350-250)=$35,000
$300,000	75%	.75(300-250)=$37,500
