    total expected bonus = $1262800

    Explanation:

    given data

    bonus = $23,000

    Probability = 12 percent

    bonus = $10,000

    Probability = 25 percent

    bonus = $6,000

    Probability = 8 percent

    total sales = 220

    solution

    first we get probability for bonus amount = $0

    probability = 1 - (12% + 25% + 8 %)

    probability = 0.55

    so here Expected bonus per employee company will pay is

    Expected bonus = $23000 * (0.12) + $10000 * (0.25) + $6000 * (0.08) + $0 (0.55)

    Expected bonus = $5740

    so total expected bonus is

    total expected bonus = $5740 * 220

    total expected bonus = $1262800
