Big Top is the only circus in the nation. The graph shows its demand curve and marginal cost curve.
Draw the marginal revenue curve Label it
Draw a point at the firm's profit-maximizing output and price
Draw a shape to show the consumer surplus Label it CS
Draw a shape to show the producer surplus Label it PS
S
Consumer surplus equals and producer
surplus equals s
>>> Answer to 2 decimal places
When the firm maximizes profit, the circus is
OA. efficient, marginal revenue equals marginal cost
OB. inefficient, marginal benefit exceeds marginal revenue
OC. efficient, the marginal benefit from an additional ticket is greater than its marginal cost
OD. inefficient, the marginal benefit from an additional ticket is greater than its marginal cost
OE. inefficient, marginal revenue equals marginal cost
