A recent engineering was given the job of determining the best production rate for a new type of casting in a foundry. After experimenting with many combinations of hourly production rates and total production cost per hour, he summarized his findings in (table 1). The engineering then talked to the firm’s marketing specialist, who provided estimates of selling price per casting as a function of production output (see table 2). There are 8,760 hours in a year. What production rate would you recommend to maximize total profits per year?
