Answer:

The right solution is Option C "$4,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Breakdown cost,

= $3,000

Per week cost of preventive maintenance,

= $1,000

Breakdown per week,

= 1

Now,

The cost per week will be:

=  [tex]Breakdown \ cost+Cost \ of \ preventive \ maintenance[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

=  [tex]3000+1000[/tex]

=  [tex]4,000[/tex] ($)
