Respuesta :

Answer:

1000

Explanation:

1000, that is the point where it reaches maximum utility, if it has more clients it incurs a higher marginal cost and therefore its utility would be lower, in microeconomics the utility function is a quadratic function, this means that it has a maximum point and from there the income continues to increase but the utility decreases due to the marginal cost, that is to say the cost of an additional unit.
