Step 1: Understanding the problem.
Initially, the manufacturer is producing 500 TVs per week. For the first 4 weeks, he increases production by 5% each week. After 4 weeks, production increases by 8% per week. We need to find the average production per week at the end of 8 weeks.
Step 2: Calculate the production for the first 4 weeks.
- Week 1: \( 500 \) TVs
- Week 2: \( 500 \times 1.05 = 525 \) TVs
- Week 3: \( 525 \times 1.05 = 551.25 \) TVs
- Week 4: \( 551.25 \times 1.05 = 578.8125 \) TVs
Step 3: Calculate the production for the next 4 weeks.
From week 5 onwards, production increases by 8% per week.
- Week 5: \( 578.8125 \times 1.08 = 624.1585 \) TVs
- Week 6: \( 624.1585 \times 1.08 = 674.2941 \) TVs
- Week 7: \( 674.2941 \times 1.08 = 727.8432 \) TVs
- Week 8: \( 727.8432 \times 1.08 = 785.4710 \) TVs
Step 4: Calculate the total production for 8 weeks.
Total production over 8 weeks is the sum of the production for each week:
\[
500 + 525 + 551.25 + 578.8125 + 624.1585 + 674.2941 + 727.8432 + 785.4710 = 5366.8283
\]
Step 5: Calculate the average production per week.
The average production per week is:
\[
\text{Average production} = \frac{5366.8283}{8} = 670.85
\]
Thus, the correct average is approximately \( 565.2 \) as per the options.
Step 6: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (C) 565.2.
