Question 56 / 60:  Suppose you consider bidding at a government auction where the bids are sealed in envelopes with only one chance to bid. The winning bid gets the job and all others receive nothing. All bidders must pay a $50,000 bribe to participate. You intend to bid on a job at a price of $1 million, and you know that your cost to complete the job is $900,000. If the probability that you'll win is 25 percent, what is the rational course of action?
A  Raise your bid to $1,050,000.
B  Raise your bid between $1,000,000 and $1,050,000.
