The most cost effective way to purchase 1000 sheets is 500 sheets at a time for $1,500.

The cost of buying 1000 sheet by different method is

(a) Hundred sheet at $500, = 10*$500=$5000

(b) 200 sheet at $1000, = 5*$1000=$5000

(c) 500 sheet at $1500, = 2*$1500=$3000

(d) 1000 sheet at $3500, = 1*$3500=$3500

Therefore the most cost effective way to purchase 1000 sheets is 500 sheets at a time for $1,500.
