Transcribed Image Text:**Figure 15-4 Analysis**
The diagram provided is a graph displaying the relationship between price and quantity, typically used to analyze monopoly behavior in economics. The graph consists of four curves labeled Curve A, Curve B, Curve C, and Curve D. The horizontal axis represents quantity, marked as Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and the vertical axis represents price, marked as P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5.
**Curves:**
- **Curve A:** Appears to be the demand curve.
- **Curve B:** Likely represents the marginal cost curve.
- **Curve C:** Could represent the marginal revenue curve.
- **Curve D:** Possibly the average total cost curve.
**Analysis:**
The graph can be used to determine the total revenue for a profit-maximizing monopoly. This is calculated by finding the price at which the marginal cost equals marginal revenue and then finding the corresponding price on the demand curve.
**Question:**
Refer to Figure 15-4. A profit-maximizing monopoly's total revenue is equal to
- ○ P3 × Q4.
- ○ (P4 - P2) × Q3.
- ○ P4 × Q3.
- ○ P5 × Q1.
