The season is broken up into 22 / 2 = 11 episode based on cost. The first 11 episodes cost 11 * 1000 = $11,000. The next set of episodes cost 1000 * 1.2 = $1200 more per episode. So they cost 1000 + 1200 = $2200 each. So in total they cost 2200 * 11 = $24200. So in total the season cost 24200 + 11000 = $35,200.
The answer: 35200.
