A small-town bakery has shelf space for five pieces of a perishable bread. The unit cost of baking each piece of bread is PhP 87 and it can be sold b the baker for PhP 142 each. The probabilities for the day's demand in pieces are given below: Demand (x) 1 3. 4 f(x) 0.15 0.12 0.23 0.19 0.12 However, pieces of bread that were unsold during the day are sold to another bakery that makes pudding and french toast. This bakery buys the bread for PhP 53 each. But due to its limited capital, this bakery could purchase just up to 2 pieces of bread. What is the expected profit if the bakery bakes 3 pieces in a day?

Question
A small-town bakery has shelf space for five pieces of a perishable bread.
The unit cost of baking each piece of bread is PhP 87 and it can be sold by
the baker for PhP 142 each. The probabilities for the day's demand in
pieces are given below:
Demand (x)
1
4
f(x)
0.15
0.12
0.23
0.19
0.12
However, pieces of bread that were unsold during the day are sold to
another bakery that makes pudding and french toast. This bakery buys the
bread for PhP 53 each. But due to its limited capital, this bakery could
purchase just up to 2 pieces of bread.
What is the expected profit if the bakery bakes 3 pieces in a day?
