Scheduling the test seems important, but I think it comes after getting approval. I’d go with option C for the first step.

Okay, I've got this. The original subscription was $600 per unit for 10 units over 24 months. After 10 months, they want to issue a prorated refund and quote a new, more expensive subscription. The question is asking for the expected net total of the amended subscription. I'll need to do some calculations, but I think I can figure this out.
