Step 1 :The total revenue, $R(x)$, is given by the price per suit, $p$, times the number of suits sold, $x$. So, $R(x) = p \cdot x = (120 - 0.75x) \cdot x = 120x - 0.75x^2$.
Step 2 :The total profit, $P(x)$, is given by the total revenue, $R(x)$, minus the total cost, $C(x)$. So, $P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = (120x - 0.75x^2) - (2000 + 0.75x^2) = 120x - 2000$.
Step 3 :To find the number of suits the company must produce and sell in order to maximize profit, we need to find the value of $x$ that maximizes $P(x)$. This occurs where the derivative of $P(x)$ is zero. So, we find the derivative of $P(x)$, set it equal to zero, and solve for $x$. The derivative of $P(x)$ is $P'(x) = 120 - 1.5x$. Setting this equal to zero gives $120 - 1.5x = 0$, which solves to $x = \frac{120}{1.5} = 80$.
Step 4 :The maximum profit is $P(80) = 120 \cdot 80 - 2000 = 9600 - 2000 = 7600$.
Step 5 :The price per suit that must be charged in order to maximize profit is $p = 120 - 0.75 \cdot 80 = 120 - 60 = 60$.
