from the question, we have
the total earning for selling figurines
=1000x(21-2x)
the total cost of manufacturing the figurines is (2000+176x+192x^2) dollars
So the profit P
=1000x(21-2x)-(2000+176x+192x^2)
=21000x-2000x^2-2000-176x-192x^2
=-2192x^2+20824x-2000
dP/dx
=-4384x+20824
d^2P/dx^2=-4384<0
let dP/dx=0
-4384x+20824=0
x=4.75
Since d^2P/dx^2<0, we get the maximum value
So
the number of figurines that yields maximun profit is 4.75*1000=4750
and the selling price for each figurines is (21-2*4.75)=11.5 dollars
