Answer:

a. $700,000

86%

c. No

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn $700,000 per year. This equals the normal salary for a designer, $100,000, plus the economic rent he collects for his special talent, $600,000.  

6/7 or 0.857 or 86% of his salary is thus economic rent. This is found by 600,000/700,000

b. The answer is No. If Jacobs’s employer withholds some of the additional revenue it takes in as a result of hiring him, some other advertising company will offer him a higher salary and still manage to earn an economic profit. Bidding for Jacobs will continue until firms are indifferent between paying him $600,000 and hiring any other designer for $100,000.
