NEED ASAP!! BRAINLIEST 100 POINTS Economics Imagine you are a researcher with a pharmaceutical company who has just discovered a new drug that may potentially cure Ebola. Compose a three-paragraph memo to the chief executive officer of the company that addresses these aspects of the situation: Summarize the situation in West Africa, including the impact on the economies of the affected countries and the resources that are scarce. Discuss the resources you have used to discover the drug or will need to continue producing it. (Take an educated guess at what you will need for this part, just be sure to classify your needs into the proper factor of production.) Discuss the opportunity cost to the company in devoting more resources to the production and distribution of the new drug. Applying your knowledge of the factors of production and PPCs, explain the impact that your drug could have on the economies of countries in West Africa affected by the Ebola virus.

Ebola has affected several countries in West Africa, specially Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leona, which are among the poorest in the region. There is particular scarcity of medical devices and personnel in these countries, which aggravates the situation.

For the new drug, many capital goods would have been needed, specifically chemical compounds and laboratory equipment. Skilled labor would also be needed, because fabricating a new drug is a very complicated process that only specialized people can carry out.

The opportunity cost of the company in devoting more resources to produce and distribute the new drug may not be so high because a drug against Ebola would have a very high demand, perhaps a lot higher than the demand for other drugs.
