Scenario - A certain type of injury has direct tangible costs of $40,000 per occurrence and intangible costs of $150,000 per occurrence. The frequency of injury occurrence is .05 per year but would be reducible to .01 per year with the installation of a new guarding system.

A) Calculate the expected annual financial benefit the new system would provide and please show your work. What would the annual financial benefit be?
