Answer:

1000 units produces a maximum cost of $300,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = -0.3x² + 600x

The equation is a downward parabola.  Its maximum is at the vertex, which can be found with:

x = -b / (2a)

Here, a = -0.3 and b = 600.

x = -(600) / (2 × -0.3)

x = 1000

The maximum cost is:

C(1000) = 300,000

1000 units produces a maximum cost of $300,000.

You can also use calculus to find the maximum.

C(x) = -0.3x² + 600x

C'(x) = -0.6x + 600

0 = -0.6x + 600

x = 1000

Allushta [10]
If you would like to know how much do you save per month, you can calculate this using the following steps:

your expenses: 36% of 2,847.69 = 36% * 2,847.69 = 36/100 * 2,847.69 = 1,025.17
2,847.69 - 1,025.17 = 1,822.52

saving 40% of your discretionary money: 40% of 1,822.52 = 40% * 1,822.52 = 40/100 * 1,822.52 = 729.008 = 729.01

The correct result would be: You can save 729.01 per month.
