Question
A plant produces and sells semiconductor devices. The cost per one unit (also known as the unit cost) depends on the volume of production and includes a fixed part 1000 ($/device) and a variable part 2n ($/device), where n is the number of units produced per month. The price of the device, in turn, depends on the volume of production according to the law p(n)=10000−n ($/device). Determine at what volume of production the profit will be highest?
