Rework the previous problem for a case in which the one-year warranty requires you to pay for the new device even if failure occurs during the warranty period. Specifically, if the device fails at time t, measured relative to the time it went into use, you must pay 300t for a new device. For example, if the device goes into use at the beginning of April and fails nine months later, at the beginning of January, you must pay 225. The reasoning is that you got 9/12 of the warranty period for use, so you should pay that fraction of the total cost for the next device. As before, how-ever, if the device fails outside the warranty period, you must pay the full 300 cost for a new device.

You are a new salesperson at a large software manufacturing firm. It is three weeks from the end of the sales quarter and you and your sales manager have both already met your sales quotas for the quarter. In addition, you just closed another deal with a new customer for $100,000 worth of software and customer service. This order would put you way over your sales quota for the current quarter. Your manager suggests that you hold this new order so it gets recorded against next quarter. She explains that because sales during the next three months tend to slow down, salespeople frequently miss their quotas and associated sales bonuses for that quarter. Holding this large order to next quarter would help you get an excellent start and almost guarantee that you meet your quota. What would you do?
