### Graph Components:

- The vertical axis represents price levels in dollars.
- The horizontal axis represents the quantity of goods produced and sold.
2. **Curves:**
- **MC (Marginal Cost):** An upward-sloping curve representing the additional cost of producing one more unit.
- **ATC (Average Total Cost):** A U-shaped curve showing the average cost per unit.
- **AVC (Average Variable Cost):** A curve that shows the variable costs per unit.
- **D (Demand):** A downward-sloping curve illustrating the overall demand for the product.
- **MR (Marginal Revenue):** A downward-sloping curve that lies below the demand curve, showing the additional revenue from selling one more unit.
3. **Points:**
- **A to E:** Points on the graph indicating various intersections and points of interest related to cost and revenue curves.
### Question:
01. What is the profit maximizing price?
- (a) $4
- (b) $12
- (c) $18
