Exercise 13

Avg difficulty 2.5

A company wants to offer a 2-year extended warranty in case their product fails after the original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase. They estimate that 1.5% of their products will fail during that time, and it will cost them $450 to replace a failed product. If they charge $55 for the extended warranty, what is the company's expected profit or loss on each warranty sold?
