    There are various combinations that can happen:

    Year 1 16,000, Year 2 20,000. So total 35,000
    Year 1 16,000, Year 2 (2000), So total 14,000
    Year 1 12,000, Year 2 20,000, So total 32,000
    Year 1 12,000, Year 2 (2,000 ) So total 10,000
    Year 1 (4,000), Year 2 20,000. So total 16,000
    Year 1 (4,000), Year 2 (2,000) So total (6,000)

    However, the way in the answer is more complicated than it needs to be.

    The expected value in the 1st year is (0.15 x 16,000) + (0.60 x 12,000) – (4,000 x 0.25) = 8,600
    The expected value in the 2nd year is (20,000 x 0.75) – (0.25 x 2,000) = 14,500

    Total = 8,600 + 14,500 = 23,100 (same as the answer) 🙂
