\begin{gathered} \text{Company cost to produce 1 unit of product is,} \\ \Rightarrow cost=2200+60x \\ \text{here, x is the number of product} \\ So,\text{ the price of 514 cost is,} \\ Cost=2200+60*514 \\ \text{Cost}=\text{ \$33040} \\ \text{Now, selling Cost is} \\ \text{Selling}=514*72=\text{ \$37008} \\ \text{Now, profit is} \\ \text{Profit}=\text{selling}-cost \\ \text{Profit}=37008-33040 \\ \text{Profit}=\text{ \$3968} \end{gathered}
