price, variable cost, and the annual sales volume. The product has a life of only one year. The
management has the data on these three factors as under:

Selling Price(Rs.)	Probability	Variable Cost (Rs.)	Probability	Sales Volume(Units)	Probability
3	0.2	1	0.3	2,000	0.3
4	0.5	2	0.6	3,000	0.3
5	0.3	3	0.1	5,000	0.4
