Accounting

Consider a firm that has a 5% chance of a loss of 50 million dollars. If there is no loss, the firm will make 25 million dollars. Therefore, in the loss state, the firm will have a net loss of $25 million ($25m-$50m=-$25m). If the firm is taxed 40% on all earnings above zero dollars, what is the most the firm would be willing to pay for insurance?
