 15. Mr. Chan owns a toy producing machine. The total cost of producing 𝑛 toys by the machine is

𝐶(𝑛) = 𝑛 − 20𝑛 + 2000.

(a) (i) By the method of completing the square, express 𝐶(𝑛) in the form of
𝑎(𝑛 − ℎ) + 𝑘, where 𝑎, ℎ and 𝑘 are real numbers.
(ii) Write down the number of toys produced so that the total cost is minimum.
(b) Mr. Chan is selling the toy at a unit price of $40. Suppose all the toys produced are sold.
(i) Express Mr. Chan’s total profit 𝑃(𝑛) in terms of 𝑛.
(ii) Mr. Wu claims that if the total cost is minimum, then the total profit will be maximum.
Do you agree? Explain your answer.
