5. Should all professors be paid the same? The following graphs show the supply of and demand for assistant professors in historyand in biologyfor a hypothetical university. Use the graphs to help you answer the following questions. 120 108 28 SALARY (Thousands of dollars) 72 60 288 36 12 24 Supply 0 Market for Assistant History Professors Demand University Wage (Dollars) 72,000 108,000 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Assistant history professors) (?)
