below i will give some details and help me to draw an isoprofit curve. Thanks

Label the x-axis as "Quantity of Bedaquiline."
Label the y-axis as "Price of Bedaquiline."
Draw a downward-sloping isoprofit curve that starts at a profit-maximizing price of $46.
Now, let's explain what this diagram represents:

Profit (Producer Surplus):

Mark the point on the isoprofit curve where the price is $46. This is the initial profit-maximizing price for J&J.

Calculate the area above the supply curve and below the price of $46 up to the quantity produced. This area represents J&J's producer surplus at the original price of $46.

Markup:
3. Calculate the difference between the price ($46) and the cost of production ($5). This difference, $41, represents the markup that J&J was earning per unit of bedaquiline sold at the original price.

Consumer Surplus:
4. Now, mark the point on the isoprofit curve where the price is reduced to $8.

Calculate the area above the supply curve and below the price of $8 up to the quantity produced at this new price. This area represents the consumer surplus gained by consumers due to the price reduction.

Subtract the original consumer surplus (before the price reduction) from the new consumer surplus (after the price reduction). The difference between the two represents the change in consumer surplus.

Output:
7. The quantity of bedaquiline produced at the new price of $8 is determined by the intersection of the demand curve (you can assume a straight-line demand curve) and the new price level.

Now, let's explain the economic implications of this diagram:

Profit (Producer Surplus): J&J's producer surplus decreases as a result of the price reduction. This is because they are now selling the product at a lower price, and their profit per unit sold has decreased.

Markup: The markup, which was initially $41 per unit, has decreased significantly due to the price reduction.

Consumer Surplus: Consumer surplus has increased as a result of the price reduction. Consumers are now able to purchase bedaquiline at a lower price, leading to a larger consumer surplus.

Output: The quantity of bedaquiline produced has likely increased due to the lower price, making it more affordable for consumers, which also contributes to the increase in consumer surplus.

In summary, J&J's decision to reduce the price of bedaquiline from $46 to $8 per month has led to a decrease in producer surplus (profit), a significant decrease in markup, an increase in consumer surplus, and a likely increase in the quantity of bedaquiline produced. This decision reflects a trade-off between lower profits for the company and increased access and affordability for consumers, especially in the context of healthcare and drug pricing.

The Case of J&J and Changes to Drug Pricing of Treatment for TB
The world's largest pharmaceutical market is the US. But there is social contention about the monopoly pricing strategies of big drug firms, e.g. see

Consider the firm Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and the production of the drug bedaquiline to treat tuberculosis (TB), and its recent decision to cut the price of bedaquiline from $46 to $8 per month, as discussed in the following freely available articles:
For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output as a result of the price reduction.

▪ You will hand draw one (1) diagram with an isoprofit curve, which is an adaptation of Figure 7.9d from the CORE ESPP text. An adaptation means that you modify the main diagram from the text to suit the case study at hand, for the drug to fight TB. Assume unit costs of production of this drug are a constant $5 per month.

▪ Youareonlyrequiredtodrawoneisoprofitcurvewiththeprofit-maximisingpriceof$46.Beaccuratewhen you draw your isoprofit curve, but there is no need to calculate with precision all the points on the isoprofit curve. Calculate and show workings of what the iso-profit would be for any price greater than $10 but less
than $40 (pick any one price but stick to an integer).

▪ Fortheincrementalquantitiesofdrugproductiononthex-axis,usehypotheticalvalues(roughguessesfrom
your imagination). Also use your intuition for making up other prices/costs of the drug on the y-axis and
make up a demand (straight-line) 'curve'.

PROBLEM 21

Nonconstant growth assume that it is now January 1, 2016. Wayne Martin electic inc. (WME) has developed a solar panel capable of generating 200% more electricity than any other solar panel currently on the market. As a result, WME is expected to experience a 15% annual growth rate for the next 5 years. Other firms will have developed comparable technology by the end of 5 year, and WME’s growth rate will slow to 5% per year indefinitely. Stockholders require a return of 12% on WME’s stock. The most recent annual dividend (D0), which was paid yesterday, was $ 1.75 per share.

  1. Calculate WME’s expected dividends for 2016,2017,2018,2019 and 2020
  2. Cal\culate the value of the stock today, p0. Proceed by finding the present value of the dividends expected at the end of 2016,2017,2018,2019 and 2020 plus the present value of the stock price that should exist at the end of 2020. The year end 2020 stock price can be found by using the constant growth equation. Notice than to find the December 31, 2020, price, you must use the dividend expected in 2021, which is 5% greater than the 2020 dividend.
  3. Calculate the expected dividend yield (D1/P0), capital gains yield, and total return ( dividend yield plus capital gains yield ) expected for 2016. ( Assume that Ṕ0=P0 and recognize that the capital gains yield is equal to the total return minus the dividend yield.) then calculate these same three yields for 2021
  4. How might an investor’s tax situation affect his or he decision to purchase stocks of companies in the early stages of their lives, when they are growing rapidly, versus stock of older, more mature firms? When doe’s WMW’s stock become “mature” for purposes of this question?
  5. Suppose your boss tells you she believes that WME’s annual growth rate will be only 12% during the next 5 years and that the firm’s long-run growth rate will be only 4%. Without doing any calculations, what general effect would these growth rate changes have on the price of WME’s stock?
  6. Suppose your boss also tells you that she regards WME as being quite risky and that she believes the required rate of return should be 14%, not 12%. Without doing any calculations, determine how the higher required rate of return would affect the price of the stock, the capital gains yield, and the dividend yield. Again, assume that the long-run growth rate is 4%
