Constructing 1 batting cage will bring in $10,000 and cost $6,000, leaving a net revenue of $4,000.
Constructing 2 batting cages will bring in $18,000 and cost $12,000, leaving a net revenue of $6,000.
Constructing 3 batting cages will bring in $24,000 and cost $18,000, leaving a net revenue of $6,000.
