Question

A device is insured against early failure. The lifetime of the device (after being bought) is exponentially distributed with an expected lifetime of 4 years. The insurance will pay Php28000 if the device fails within its first year, and Php14000 if the device fails within its second year. If the device fails after the second year, then the insurance pays nothing. Determine the expected value (in Php) that the insurance will pay for a single device. You may enter your answer to the nearest whole number.

Note that "within the first year" means in the interval (0,1] years and "within the second year" means in the interval (1,2] years.
