Your latest project involves the development of a death ray.  Initial estimates predict that the project has a 50% chance of failure, with a potential loss of $1,000,000.  However, you could hire an expert for $450,000.  This is likely to reduce the chance of failure to 20% and the potential loss to $300,000.   Questions: a) What is the dollar value of the net benefit of hiring the expert?  Should you hire the expert? (Show all calculations for credit) b) As the skeptical accountant, do you have any concerns with this analysis?  Be specific in order to receive credit
