Answer:

$2500

Explanation:

Given: Total output(quantity)= 1000 units.

           average variable cost per unit= $3

           Average fixed cost per unit= $1.5

           Selling price per unit is $7

We know, Profit= [tex]Total\ revenue - Total\ cost[/tex]

First, lets find out total cost

Total cost= [tex]Total\ fixed\ cost+ Total\ variable\ cost[/tex]

Remember, cost= [tex]average\ cost\times quantity[/tex]

[tex]Fixed\ cost= \textrm{average fixed cost per unit}\times quantity[/tex]

[tex]Fixed\ cost= 1.5\times 1000= \$ 1500[/tex]

[tex]Variable\ cost= \textrm{average variable cost per unit}\times quantity[/tex]

[tex]Variable\ cost= \$ 3\times 1000= \$ 3000[/tex]

Total cost= [tex] 1500+ 3000[/tex]= [tex]\$4500[/tex]

Now, finding total revenue.

[tex]Total\ revenue= selling\ price\times quantity[/tex]

[tex]Total\ revenue= \$ 7\times 1000= \$ 7000.[/tex]

Profit= [tex]Total\ revenue - Total\ cost[/tex]

∴ Total profit= [tex]\$ 7000-\$ 4500= \$2500[/tex]

Total profit= $2500
