**Multiple Choice**- ○ P₁ and Q₃- ○ P₁ and Q₂- ○ P₂ and Q₃- ○ P₄ and Q₃This image presents a multiple-choice question with four options, each comprising a combination of symbols (P and Q) followed by numbers (1-4). There are no graphs or diagrams included. The provided diagram is an economic graph illustrating optimal pricing strategies during high-peak demand periods for maximizing profits. The graph includes several components:1. **Axes:** - The vertical axis (P) represents the price level. - The horizontal axis (Q) represents the quantity of goods.2. **Curves and Lines:** - **MC (Marginal Cost):** This line is vertical, indicating constant marginal cost across different output levels. - **DHigh (High Demand):** A downward-sloping demand curve indicating the high demand scenario. - **DLow (Low Demand):** Another downward-sloping demand curve representing low demand. - **MRHigh (Marginal Revenue High):** Corresponding to DHigh, this curve is downward-sloping and lies below the DHigh curve. - **MRLow (Marginal Revenue Low):** Corresponding to DLow, this curve is also downward-sloping and lies below the DLow curve.3. **Price and Quantity Combinations:** - At high-peak times, the firm should target the intersection point of MC and MRHigh to maximize profit. - The graph suggests that the price P3 and quantity Q3 represent the optimal point in high demand.4. **Other Price Points:** - P1, P2, and P4 are labeled on the price axis, indicating potential price levels in different scenarios.During high-peak times, the firm should charge a price P3 and produce quantity Q3 to ensure profit maximization, as determined by the intersection of the MC and MRHigh curves.

The given graph provides the price and quantity combinations and includes the Marginal cost curve of…

If a company successfully advertises its product, do we expect the price elasticity of demand for this firms perceived demand curved to increase, decrease or remain the same? Explain how advertising can cause this effect.
Tim True increase production from 4 to 5 fire engines because the True or False: If Tim's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $105,000 were the market price for an engine, increasing its production would not affect the price at which he can sell engines. False dominates in this scenario.
Jabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced five trucks, but then decided to increase production to six trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $160,000 to $120,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari 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.

Alex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Alex produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Alex must lower his price from $80,000 to $40,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alex gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight 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 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. 200 180 Revenue Lost 160 140 120 Revenue Gained 100 Demand 80 60 40 20 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 QUANTITY (Fire engines) Alex increase production from 8 to…
