Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the first quarter, the artist produced 300 job outputs.
In the second quarter, the artist's output is expected to double. Therefore, the output in the second quarter would be 300 x 2 = 600.
In the third quarter, the output is expected to double again. Therefore, the output in the third quarter would be 600 x 2 = 1,200.
In the fourth quarter, the output is expected to double again. Therefore, the output in the fourth quarter would be 1,200 x 2 = 2,400.
In the fifth quarter, the output is expected to double again. Therefore, the output in the fifth quarter would be 2,400 x 2 = 4,800.
Therefore, the total output as of the 5th quarter is 300 + 600 + 1,200 + 2,400 + 4,800 = 9,300 job outputs.
