A) $599.97
B) $150.00
C) $580.65
D) $18,000.00

The average cost per unit is given by $C(x) = \frac{x}{600} + 20$. To find the total cost for 600 units, we multiply the average cost per unit by the number of units: $C(600) = \frac{600}{600} + 20 = 1 + 20 = 21$. The total cost is $21 \times 600 = 12,600$. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the formula based on the provided options. Given the options and the formula's apparent misinterpretation, none of the answers match the expected calculation. Please ensure the formula is correctly provided as $C(x) = x(600) + 20$ or $C(x) = \frac{x}{600} + 20$, as the calculation and interpretation will differ significantly. Based on the initial interpretation, none of the provided options correctly match the calculation.
