The answer is 146. You have to calculate yearly costs, but HDD has a lifetime of 3 years, so you have to divide 440$ per 3 years

Wouldn't it be 146? First examine the EF = 100 Hard drive fails every 3 years so divide 100/3 which = 33.333... or 33% (rounded) There's a 33% chance the hard drive will fail each year and it will definitely fail within 3 years. So ARO = 33% or .33 And SLE = 300 + 14 * 10 ($300 for the hard drive plus $14*10 for the worker) Then we have .33*(300+14*10) Remember PEMDAS? (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) So we multiply what's in the parenthesis first (14*10) which = 140 Then we add what's left in the parenthesis (300 + 140) which = 440 Lastly we multiply .33*440 which = 145.2 Closest answer is 146. If you multiply 146 * 3 (for 3 years) it = 438, close to 440. If I'm off please let me know.
