Minor renovation and favorable market has a payoff of $40,000 and an unfaborable market of $-20,000. Obviously, not developing the new product has a $0 payoff. Prior to making a final decision the company has contracted with a market researching group to conduct a market analysis to determine for certain if the market will be favorable or unfavorable. How much is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay for this accurate information? (indicate to the nearest whole number)
