Transcribed Image Text:The graph illustrates the curves for the firm JT Minn., a monopolist producing dishwashers. It includes the following elements:
1. **Axes**:
- Vertical axis labeled "Price/Cost".
- Horizontal axis labeled "Quantity".
2. **Curves**:
- **Demand Curve** (blue line): Downward sloping, indicating the relationship between price and quantity demanded.
- **Marginal Cost Curve** (black line): Upward sloping, representing the cost of producing an additional unit.
- **Marginal Revenue Curve** (orange line): Downward sloping, positioned below the demand curve.
3. **Points of Interest**:
- Intersection of the Marginal Cost and Marginal Revenue curves at (570, $20), highlighting the profit-maximizing quantity and cost.
- A point on the Demand curve at (980, $33), indicating the price and quantity that JT Minn. would ideally charge to maximize profit as a monopolist.
The graph allows interaction to adjust the position on the demand curve to reflect the price and production quantity for JT Minn.
