A supplier for TechGiant Electronics has introduced quantity discounts to encourage larger order quantities of a specific high-performance microchip. The price schedule is

0 to 499

$30

500 to 999

$25

1000 to 1999

$20

2000+

The TechGiant estimates that its annual demand for this item is 10000 units, its ordering cost is $200 per order, and its annual holding cost is 25 percent of the microchip’s unit price. What quantity and price of this high-performance microchip should the TechGiant order to minimize total costs? (You should show all your work to get full credit in this question.
