- Pls answer number 15 with solutions An entity is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit. The entity’s lawyers believe there is a 30% chance that the court will dismiss the case and the entity will incur no outflow of economic benefits. However, if the court rules in favor of the claimant, the lawyers believe that there is a 20% chance that the entity will be required to pay damages of ₱800,000 (the amount sought by the claimant) and an 80% chance that the entity will be required to pay damages of ₱400,000 (the amount that was recently awarded by the same judge in a similar case). Other outcomes are unlikely. The court is expected to rule in late December 20x2. There is no indication that the claimant will settle out of court.

- 6 . Individual Problems 19-5 Soft selling occurs when a buyer is skeptical of the usefulness of a product and the seller offers to set a price that depends on realized value. For example, suppose a sales representative is trying to sell a company a new accounting system that will, with certainty, reduce costs by 20%. However, the customer has heard this claim before and believes there is only a 10% chance of actually realizing that cost reduction and a 90% chance of realizing no cost reduction. Assume the customer has an initial total cost of $500. According to the customer's beliefs, the expected value of the accounting system, or the expected reduction in cost, is .
