b. Draw the supply curve for Negar’s shoe factory.
c. Suppose the wholesale market for shoes that sell to retailstores is competitive, with a market price of $10 per pair (i.e.,$100 per 10 pairs). If Negar’s goal is to maximize profits, howmany pairs will she choose to sell?
d. What are Negar’s profits when she sells the number of pairsfrom (c) at the market price of $10?
e. Calculate Negar’s producer surplus given the price andquantity from part (c). How does this compare to the profitcalculated in part (d)? Briefly explain your answer.
