A lobster catcher spends $12 500 per month to maintain a lobster boat. He plans to catch an average of 20 days per month during lobster season. For each day, he must allow approximately $95 for fuel and ice for the boat. If his packaging and distribution costs are $2.00 per kilogram of lobster, and if lobster sells for $6.00 per kilogram: (Excel is not required for this question: Just Type your answer with proper steps)

a. How many kilograms of lobster must he catch per day to break even?

b. Suppose the catcher wants to put away money to sustain himself through inclement weather and off-season expenses. He decides that he would like to save $10 000 per month. How much lobster should he plan to catch to make this plan possible?
