Answer

$\$0.8$

Work Step by Step

The variation model described by the problem is $ C=\dfrac{k}{n} ,$ where $C$ is the cost and $n$ is the number produced. Substituting the known values in the variation model above results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 1.20=\dfrac{k}{4000} \\\\ k=1.2(4000) \\\\ k=4800 .\end{array} Therefore, the variation equation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} C=\dfrac{4800}{n} .\end{array} Using the variation equation above, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} C=\dfrac{4800}{6000} \\\\ C=0.8 .\end{array} Hence, the cost is $ \$0.8 $ per DVD.
