Draw a graph to describe the maple syrup market and the cost and revenue of one firm

Question:

Draw a graph to describe the maple syrup market and the cost and revenue of one firm in 2007, assuming that all firms are making zero economic profit.

Sugaring season in Vermont is going full blast. Vermont, the biggest U.S. syrup producer, produces about 500,000 gallons a year. In 2007, maple syrup cost an average of $35 a gallon; this year, the price is $45 a gallon. Canada is usually a huge producer, but with a poor season it has seen a 30 percent drop in production. As consumers turn to natural and organic products and buy locally made food, demand for maple syrup has rocketed.
