The answer should be 7260 .. How ?

Explanation / Answer

Solution :

First , we calculate earnings for not defective ones :

= 550 *15 * (1-0.06)

= 550 *15 * (0.94)

= 7755

Next , we calculate for defective ones :

= 550 *15 * (0.06)

= 495

Hence ,

Net revenue generated = 7755 - 495 = 7260 Answer
