Why is it important to the organization to know about this?arrow_forwardTom, a math major, examines Jane's economics class notes and observes that when price-taking firms earn economic profit, they do not seem to produce a quantity that minimizes theircosts. Is he correct?Is there significance to this observation?arrow_forwardYour task is to show what the profit of this firm might look like using a key economics diagram. To make graphing easier, we will consider the price of the Ozempic drug for the middle-income country Bangladesh, which is $38 (assumed the profit-maximising price). For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.arrow_forward
- what is the profit-maximizing output quantity?arrow_forwardAsap plz 1) A food industry is made up of 100 identical companies. Each firm has a short-run cost function which is the square of its output, which is SC = 0.5 q2 + 10q + 5. If the total market demand for the food is Q = 1100 – 50P, Questions: a. Calculate and Draw a graph showing the market point equilibrium b. Calculate how much is the consumer surplus? c. Calculate how much is the producer surplus ?arrow_forwardDraw a market graph showing a downward-sloping demand curve and a horizontal supply curve. The firm graph would show a U-shaped average cost curve and a marginal cost curve that intersects the average cost curve at its minimum point. The firm would be producing at the profit-maximizing level of output, where marginal cost equals price.arrow_forward
