Jake is incorrect with his assertion that the BYOB should charge 2.25 per can.

<h3>What is Profit maximization and Loss minimization?</h3>

The process of Profit maximization ensures that favorable output and price are achieved to maximize its return while the process of Loss minimization ensures there is lower loss on return in the longer-run.

Price QD T*R(P*Q) Total cost(ATC*Q) Profit(TR-TC)

2 1000 2000 2750 -750

2.25 750 1687.5 2625 -937.5

Given that loss realized is lower in $2 per unit than $2.25 per unit, then, Jake is not correct with his assertion that the BYOB should charge 2.25 per can.

Note: The point has been placed on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB.
