Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the profit of Eco Energy, we need to calculate the total revenue and total cost for each quantity of product sold and then subtract the total cost from total revenue. For example, for the first row, the total revenue is 1 x $75 = $75, and the total cost is $60, so the profit is $75 - $60 = $15. We can do this calculation for each row and find the profit. The profit is highest at the quantity of 3, where the profit is $145. Therefore, the best choice for Eco Energy is to produce and sell 3 cases of Power On.
