Solution

In the short run, the producer surplus of the firm can be calculated by subtracting the fixed costs from the profit.

Step 1: Identify the profit and fixed costs. In this case, the profit is 500andthefixedcostsare500 and the fixed costs are 100.

Step 2: Subtract the fixed costs from the profit to calculate the producer surplus.

So, 500(profit)500 (profit) - 100 (fixed costs) = $400

Therefore, the producer surplus of the firm is $400.
