The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $200,000 a year. The firms that employ designers of normal ability each collect $500,000 in revenue a year, which is just enough to ensure that each earns exactly a normal profit. However, the 200th company employs Janus Jacobs, an unusually talented designer. Because of Jacob's talent, this company collects $900,000 in revenue a year.

a. How much will Jacobs earn? What proportion of his annual salary will be economic rent?

b. Will the advertising company for which Jacobs works be able to earn an economic profit?

PLSSSS explain each step, so lost!
