Solution
I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to view or interpret images or figures. However, I can explain how to calculate the profit if you have the necessary information.
To calculate the profit, you need to know the firm's total revenue and total cost. The profit is calculated as total revenue minus total cost.
If you're looking to maximize average profit, you would need to know the firm's total revenue and total cost at various levels of output, and then calculate the average profit (total profit divided by quantity) at each level. The level of output that gives the highest average profit would be the profit-maximizing level of output.
Without the specific information from Figure 7.5, I'm unable to provide a specific answer to your question. I recommend looking at the figure and using the information provided to calculate the profit at various levels of output.
