The expected cost is ​$ 0. ​(Enter your response as a whole​ number.)

Answer:

expected cost = $2800 per month

Explanation:

given data

Copies ​(per month)  = 4,000

probability = 40%

copies (per month) = 9,000

probability = 60%

lease new copier = $1,050

variable cost = $0.25

to find out

What is the expected cost

solution

we know that expected cost is here

expected cost = fixed cost + variable cost     .................1

and here demand of copies per month is express as

= ( 40 % of 4000 ) + ( 60% of 9000 )

= 1600 + 5400 = 7000

so from equation 1

expected cost = fixed cost + variable cost

expected cost = 1050 + 0.25 × 7000

expected cost = 1050 + 1750

expected cost = $2800 per month
