What is the sales price of the teddy bears? From you setup it seems that $8 is the marginal cost of each bear. The fixed costs for the factory seem to be $1500. So we can use a standard form to determine the profit.
.
Total Profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs
.
Total Revenue = Sales Price per Unit * Number of Units Sold
.
Total Costs = Fixed Costs + (Marginal Costs per Unit * Number of Units Produced)
