Hi every one i'm new here and i would really really appreciate it if you could help me with this problem:
The vice-president of human resources of your company has created a new program of payment to reduce the amount of absenteeism. His strategy is to offer special extra payments at the end of each year to the employees who have not missed any day of work during the year.
The company will give 1000$ to an employee at the end of one year without any missed day of work. this amount will be of 1500$ if it's the second year in a row without absenteeism, 2000$ if it's the third year in a row, 2500$ if it's the fourth year in a row and 5000$ if it's the fifth year in row. If an employee misses at least one day of work, he will be excluded of the program for the rest of the 5 years of the program.
this new program will only last for five years, there are 1000 employees in this company and assume that there will be no firing or hiring while this program is applied.
the probability to miss at least one day of work during
...the first year(of the program) is 0.10
...the first two years is 0.15
...the first three years is 0.35
...the first four years is 0.65
...the first five years is 0.85
A)What is the total amount of money the company is expecting to pay for this program (the sum of the five years)
This is my solution but i don't know if it's good or not:
1000(1-0.10)(1000$)+ 900(1-0.15)(1500)+765(1-0.35)(2000)+ 497,25(1-1-0.65)+ 74.5875(1-0.85)(5000)
B)What is the total amount of money the company is expecting to pay IF they allow the employees to participate every year of the program (for example: someone succeeds the first year (so earns 1000$) and the second year(and earns 1500$) but misses a day the third year (so earns 0$). this person would be allowed to participate the fourth year and fifth year but will be earning 1000$(for the fourth and 1500$ for the fifth if he succeeds) as if he was at the begging of the program)
on this one i'm really not sure what to do, it's seems to be really long to solve but i'm not really sure how to approach this and would really really appreciate some help
Thank you very much for reading all this and i hope i'll ''read'' from you soon

P.S. i'm sorry if i'm a bit confusing to read sometimes but i have to translate from French to English sorry
