Maximizing Profits

The quantity demanded each month of the Walter Serkin recording of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, produced by Phonola Media, is related to the price per compact disc. The equation
p = −0.00044x + 7    (0 ≤ x ≤ 12,000)
where p denotes the unit price in dollars and x is the number of discs demanded, relates the demand to the price. The total monthly cost (in dollars) for pressing and packaging x copiesof this classical recording is given by
C(x) = 600 + 2x − 0.00001x2    (0 ≤ x ≤ 20,000).
To maximize its profits, how many copies should Phonola produce each month? Hint: The revenue is
R(x) = px,
and the profit is
P(x) = R(x) − C(x).
(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
