Question 12

Multiple Choice

Suppose that for a particular piece of machinery, the frequency distribution of monthly breakdowns is as follows:
The cost of a breakdown is $2,000, and the cost of a preventive maintenance program is $2,000 per month. If the preventive maintenance program is adopted, the probability of a machine breakdown is negligible. How much better off per month would the firm be if it adopted preventive maintenance?
