✓ An engineering firm recently conducted a study to determine its benefit and cost structure. The results of the study are as follows: B(Y) = 300Y- 6Y² C(Y) = 4Y² so that MB = 300 - 12Y and MC = 8Y. The manager has been asked to determine the maximum level of net benefits and the level of Y that will yield that result.
