Cooling systems Carl is the lead engineer on a smart HVAC cooling system that works with minimal energy and is voice activated.

Answer to Question 1

He should only take into account the actual costs for producing another unit, 5000 . not the 30,000 in experimentation costs since those costs are already sunk and should not effect whether or not he produces an additional unit. Even though 30,000 is a large amount, these costs have already been incurred and irreversible at this point.
