Casting molds are produced by MYMOLD company. Each order has unique specifications, depending on customer needs. MYMOLD has received an order of two molds from a customer. The agreed selling price of the molds is 5000TL per mold. According to the agreement, for a defective mold the customer will pay 1000TL instead of the standard price. The customer will not buy any more than two molds and there is a 2000 TL fine for not meeting the demand with two non-defective molds. The excess molds can be salvaged for 500 TL per piece. The cost of production per mold is 2000TL and the probability of producing a non-defective mold is 0.8. Assume that MYMOLD decided to produce two molds, and the first production has been succesfull (a non-defective mold is produced). What is the expected profit given the result of the first production?
