![3. The components of marginal revenue
Karim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Karim initially produced eight trucks, but then
decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Karim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in
order to sell the additional fire truck, Karim must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Karim gains revenue from the sale of
the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price.
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.
