For this problem, since marginal cost is constant, it is only necessary to see what quantity the demand curve would dictate at a price of 5 cents. This can be done algebraically:
Qd = 1000-10P
P = 5
Q = 1000-50=950

Economic profits at this point would be zero, since it is the same as a competitive market outcome. Consumer surplus at this point would be 1/2 (950) x ...
