Transcribed Image Text:Given the monopolist's costs and demand curves shown below, which rectangular area shows the firm's total revenue?
**Graph Description:**
The graph displays several curves and lines on a price/quantity axis:
- **Demand Curve:** Downward-sloping line from D to H.
- **Marginal Cost (MC) Curve:** Upward-sloping line starting lower and going higher as quantity increases.
- **Average Cost (AC) Curve:** U-shaped curve intersecting other curves.
- **Marginal Revenue (MR) Curve:** Downward-sloping line below the Demand Curve.
**Points:**
- Intersection points:
- E (Demand and MC)
- F (MR and MC)
- G (MR and horizontal line through AC)
- Vertical lines at these points create rectangles.
**Options:**
- The area of rectangle ABGH
- The area of rectangle BDEG
- The area of rectangle ADEH
- The area of rectangle ACFH
The goal is to determine which rectangle represents the firm's total revenue. The answer is the area of rectangle BDEG, representing the quantity times the price from point D to point G on the demand curve.
