Transcribed Image Text:### Graph Explanation:
The graph illustrates the demand, marginal revenue (MR), and marginal cost (MC) functions for a monopoly.
#### Axes:
- **Horizontal Axis (X-Axis):** Represents Quantity, ranging from 0 to 504.
- **Vertical Axis (Y-Axis):** Represents Price, ranging from 0 to 180.
#### Lines:
- **Blue Line (P):** Represents the demand curve, showing the price customers are willing to pay at different quantities. It slopes downward from a price of 168 at a quantity of 0 to a price of 0 at a quantity of 504.
- **Red Line (MR):** Represents the marginal revenue curve. It also slopes downward and lies below the demand curve.
- **Green Dashed Line (MC=AC):** Represents the marginal cost, which is constant across all quantities at a price of 60. It indicates that marginal cost (MC) equals average cost (AC) for all quantities.
#### Intersection:
- The point where the MR curve intersects the MC line indicates the profit-maximizing quantity and price for the monopoly.
### Text:
A monopoly faces the following demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost functions. Note that in this case, \(MC(Q) = AC(Q)\) for all Q.
Calculate the monopoly's profits if the monopoly charges the single profit-maximizing price.
(There is a space to input the calculated profit.)
