Answer:

Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

Infant-industry argument says that a particular industry can't compete with other international competitors because of the economies of scale. So, they demand a temporary protection until they gain economies of scale to be ready to compete on a level playing field.

Note: This can also come in the category of 'unfair competition' argument as huge economies of scales of well established companies create an unfair environment for nascent industries to compete on a same level.

Profit =Sales -variable cost-fixed cost

Profit=10000

Sales=$5.00x

Variable cost= $2.50x

Fixed cost=$30,000

Replacing,

10000=5x-2.5x-30000

10000+30000=2.5x

x=40000/2.5

x=16000
