Dmitri's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Dmitri produced seven fire engines, but he has
decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Dmitri faces. As you can see, to sell the additional
engine, Dmitri must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that while Dmitri gains revenue from the additional engine he
sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because he sells them all at the lower price.
