Transcribed Image Text:1. Price and output in a competitive price-searcher market
Consider a price-searching firm, Antonio's Fire Engines, which sells fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Antonio's produced eight
fire engines but then decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve the firm faces. To sell the
additional engine, Antonio's must lower its price from $80,000 to $40,000 per engine. (Hint: Antonio's Fire Engines gains revenue from the additional
engine it sells, but it also loses revenue from the initial eight engines because it sells them all at the lower price.)
On the following graph, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by
selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from
selling an additional engine at $40,000.
