Assume that a firm’s marginal revenue curve intersects the rising portion of its marginal cost curve at 500 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm’s total cost of production is $1,000. If the price of the product is $5 per unit, the total revenue earned by the firm will be:
