### Figure 16-10 ExplanationThis figure is drawn for a monopolistically-competitive firm. It includes several curves relevant to understanding the firm's production and pricing strategy.#### Graph Details:- **Axes**: - The vertical axis represents price. - The horizontal axis represents quantity.- **Curves and Lines**: - **MC (Marginal Cost)**: Upward sloping curve. - **ATC (Average Total Cost)**: U-shaped curve above the MC at some points. - **Demand**: Downward sloping curve, indicating typical demand behavior as price decreases with increased quantity. - **MR (Marginal Revenue)**: Downward sloping curve, lying below the demand curve, typical in monopolistic competition.- **Key Points**: - The intersection of the MR and MC curves suggests the optimal quantity for profit maximization. - The intersection on the vertical price axis with the demand curve shows the price charged. - The intersection of the quantity at ATC shows the cost per unit.- **Horizontal Lines**: - Display price levels such as 160, 140, 123.33, 90, and 56.67.- **Vertical Lines**: - Quantities like 100, 133.33, and 154.92 mark different intersections.#### Question and Options:**Refer to Figure 16-10. The firm's maximum profit is**- a. $-7,000.- b. $-5,000.- c. $2,000.- d. The firm's maximum profit cannot be determined from the figure.Understanding how these elements interact on the graph helps determine the firm's pricing strategy and potential profits.

In a monopolistic competitive firm there are large number of firms selling similar but not identical…

3. The components of marginal revenue Bob's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Bob produced five fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to six fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Bob faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Bob must lower his price from $160,000 to $120,000 per fire engine. Note that while Bob gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial five engines because he sells them all 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.
