I think you have an error in your equation.
As written it has no maximum value so I'm assuming it's quadratic.
Complete the square to put in vertex form and the maximum occurs at the vertex.

So the maximum profit of occurs at
In terms of units, you can only make integer values of units so you would make either 1093 or 1094.
