I don't have the cost or revenue information for the company, so I can't compute a numeric answer yet. Tell me the cost function C(x), the revenue function R(x) (or unit price), or any marginal functions you have and I'll compute it. Meanwhile, here is how to do it:

- If you have revenue R(x) and cost C(x): profit for producing x nets is P(x) = R(x) − C(x). So for 4 nets compute P(4) = R(4) − C(4).
- If you have a unit price p (constant), then R(x) = p·x and P(4) = p·4 − C(4).
- If you have marginal cost MC(x) and initial fixed cost C(0): C(4) = C(0) + ∫0^4 MC(t) dt, then P(4) = R(4) − C(4).
- If you have a marginal profit MP(x) = P'(x): the total profit gained from producing 0 to 4 is P(4) − P(0) = ∫0^4 MP(x) dx (add P(0) if it’s not zero).

Example: if C(x) = 50 + 10x (fixed cost $50, variable $10 per net) and price p = $30 per net, then
R(4) = 30·4 = 120,
C(4) = 50 + 10·4 = 90,
P(4) = 120 − 90 = $30.

Give me the functions or numbers you have and I’ll compute the profit for 4 nets.
