Suppose an industry earns a rate of return of 10%, which is twice as high as that of competitive industries, 5%. How much is the price overcharge of that industry, if its capital is valued at half its annual revenue

Let us assume that both the industries are having an investment of $100,000

The profit of the given industry which is having 10% rate of return will be $100,000 * 10% = $10,000

The other industry which is having the Rate of return of 5% will earn a profit of $100,000 * 5% = $5000.

As the capital is just half of the revenue, it signifies that the total revenue will be $200,000 . So the same value of $10,000 will be 5% of the total revenue.  On the other hand, $5,000 would be 2.5% of total revenue.

Thus, the first stated industry will charge 2.5% more than the other industry.
