Mo increase production from 5 to 6 fire engines because the O True O False dominates in this scenario. True or False: If alternatively Mo's HookNLadder were a competitive firm and $160,000 were the market price for an engine, decreasing its price from $160,000 to $120,000 would result in a decrease in the production quantity, but an increase in total revenue.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. The components of marginal revenue
Mo's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Mo initially produced five trucks, but then decided to
increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Mo's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the
additional fire truck, Mo must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Mo gains revenue from the sale of the additional
engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial five 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 five engines by selling at $120,000 rather
than $160,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine
at $120,000.
