![The image presents a graph illustrating various economic curves along with a multiple-choice question about profit maximization.
**Graph Explanation:**
- **Axes:**
- The vertical axis represents price and cost values, with labeled points at $6.40, $5.50, $4.70, and $4.00, down to $2.50.
- The horizontal axis represents the quantity of output, ranging from 0 to 8 units.
- **Curves:**
- **Demand Curve**: A downward-sloping curve intersecting at point B on the vertical axis at $6.40 and moving down to point L on the quantity axis at approximately 6.
- **MR Curve (Marginal Revenue)**: This curve slopes downward beneath the Demand Curve, starting from point A near $6.40 and intersecting the horizontal axis closer to 6 units.
- **MC Curve (Marginal Cost)**: An upward-sloping curve, starting just above $2.50 and crossing the MR curve around point H.
- **ATC Curve (Average Total Cost)**: A U-shaped curve located above the MC curve, intersecting the vertical line through point F near $4.70.
- **Key Intersection Points:**
- **Point H**: Where the MC and MR curves intersect, determining the profit-maximizing level of output.
- **Point J**: Where the MC curve intersects the vertical line at $2.50.
- **Point F**: Where the ATC curve intersects with the vertical line at around 3 units output level.
**Multiple-Choice Question:**
The total profit at the profit-maximizing rate of output is
- $5.50
- $6.00
- $16.00
- $22.00
The graph helps determine the profit-maximizing output level and associated profit.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Feb8725f1-0fe9-43ac-84c9-781e5eaa8007%2F8e57179b-a61c-4350-8ff1-f19128394d69%2Fychc5nl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
