Working with Numbers and Graphs Q1Suppose the marginal costs of reading are constant at $10 per hour, while the marginal benefits of reading decline (over time) as more reading isperformed. In particular, suppose the following table contains the marginal benefit associated with various levels of hours spent reading.Time Spent Reading(Hours)28Marginal Benefits(Dollars per hour)164Assume the marginal-benefit curve is a straight line through the two points described in the table.On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the marginal-benefit curve for reading. Next, use the orange points (square symbol)to plot the marginal-cost curve for reading. Finally, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the point corresponding to the efficient amount ofreading (that is, the point at which the net benefits of reading are maximized).

The marginal benefit is the maximum amount that is willing to pay for an additional unit of goods…
