Big Top's total revenue and marginal revenue
schedules are in the second table (see above
table), which is useful to answer these
questions. Big Top's marginal cost is constant
and equal to $6 per ticket. Big Top's marginal
revenue equals its marginal cost when the
quantity of tickets is 350 tickets per show and the price is $13 per ticket. The total revenue is 350 tickets x
$13, which is $4,550. The total cost of 350 tickets is $3,100. So the economic profit equals $4,550 -
$3,100, which is $1, 450. You are constructing a table with total…

Quantity (mountain bikes per week)
Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is
$200 per bike, and economic loss is $10,000.
Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is
$250 per bike, and economic loss is $5,000.
Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is
$200 per bike, and economic profit is $5,000.
Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is
$250 per bike, and economic profit is $5,000.
Marginal Cost is equal to Marginal Revenue when Price= $13 and Quantity= 350, which is the profit-maximizing price.
