Answer to Question 1

It usually does not make sense to buy extended warranties. A warranty is like an insurance policy; if you buy a warranty you are insuring against the possibility the appliance will break. In most cases the cost of the warranty is much higher than the expected value of the losses.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
