Matching graphs with descriptions of cost and revenue behavior. (D. Green, adapted) Given here are a number of graphs. The horizontal axis of each graph represents the units produced over the year, and the vertical axis represents total cost or revenues. Indicate by number which graph best fits the situation or item described (a–h). Some graphs may be used more than once; some may not apply to any of the situations.
