Suppose that you have returned from your fishing expedition with 20,000 fish. The market price is $3 per fish. Your average fixed cost was $1 and your total variable cost was $5,000. If the price jumps to $3.50 before you sell your first fish, how much extra profit, if any, do you earn

The extra profit earned is $10,000

Explanation:

First, let us lay out the information given;

number of fish caught = 20,000

total variable cost = $5,000

average fixed cost = $1

total fixed cost = average fixed cost × number of fishes

= 20,000 × 1 = $20,000

Total cost = 20,000 + 5,000 = $25,000

Next let us calculate the total amount realized from sales before the price jump;

market price = $3

Total amount from sales = 3 × 20,000 = $60,000

profit made = selling price - cost price

= 60,000 - 25,000 = $35,000

Next let us calculate amount realized after the price jump;

new market price = $3.50

Total amount from new sales = 3.50 × 20,000 = $70,000

Profit = sales revenue - cost = 70,000 - 25,000 = 45,000

Finally to calculate the extra profit made, we will find the difference between  new profit after price jump and the first profit made;

extra profit = new profit - old profit

= 45,000 - 35,000 = $10,000

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
