Based on the scenario above discuss the demand determinants. Provide clear commodity examples in your discussion.
Your 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.

- Deborah sells bottled water from a small stand by the beach. On the last day of summer vacation, many people are on the beach, and Deborah realizes that she can make a lot more money this day if she hires someone to walk up and down the beach selling water. She finds a college student named Carlos and makes him the following offer: They'll each sell water all day and split their earnings (revenue minus the cost of water) equally at the end of the day. Deborah knows that if they both work hard, Carlos will earn $90 on the beach and Deborah will earn $180 at her stand, so they will each take home half of their total revenue: = $135.
