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…
