Question
The horizontal axis labeled quantity ranges from 0 to 26 in increments of 2. The vertical axis labeled dollar ranges from 0 to 220 in increments of 20. A line labeled M R begins at the point (0, 200) goes down to the right and ends at the point (10, 0). A second line labeled D begins at the point (0, 200) goes down to the right and ends at the point (20, 0). An upward-facing curve labeled M C begins at the point (3, 85) goes down to the right with decreasing steepness to a low point at (7, 60) then goes up to the right with increasing steepness to end at the point (18, 200). A second upward-facing curve labeled A T C begins at the point (4, 150) goes down to the right with decreasing steepness to a low point at (12, 85) then goes up to the right with increasing steepness to end at the point (21, 160). The curve M C intersects the line M R at (7, 60), the line D at (12, 85) and the curve A T C at (12, 85). All values are approximated."
