### Marginal Revenue in a Competitive Market**Understanding Marginal Revenue (MR)****Kim:** In class, we learned about marginal revenue (MR). Marginal revenue is the additional revenue received from selling one more unit.**Question to Consider:** James, you sell your corn in a perfectly competitive market with an equilibrium price of $4.00. What is true about your marginal revenue?**Possible Answers:**1. **Option 1:** My marginal revenue is constant and equal to $4.00. For each bushel of corn I sell, I earn $4.00 in additional revenue. 2. **Option 2:** My marginal revenue for the first bushel of corn is $4.00 and then increases as I sell more and more bushels. 3. **Option 3:** My marginal revenue for the first bushel of corn is $4.00 and then decreases as I sell more and more bushels.### Graph Explanation: Market for Corn: High PriceOn the right side, we have a graph titled "Corn Market: High Price," illustrating the supply and demand for corn.**Graph Details:**- **X-Axis (Quantity in millions):** Measures the quantity of corn sold, ranging from 0 to 110 million bushels.- **Y-Axis (Price in dollars):** Measures the price per bushel of corn, ranging from $0.00 to $8.00. **Supply Curve (Blue Line):** - Starts at the bottom left and slopes upward to the right. This signifies that as the price increases, the quantity supplied also increases.**Demand Curve (Red Line):** - Starts at the top left and slopes downward to the right. This indicates that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.**Equilibrium Point:**- The intersection of the supply and demand curves is the equilibrium point where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is $4.00.### Correct Answer:In a perfectly competitive market, the marginal revenue remains constant and equal to the equilibrium price. Therefore, the accurate statement is:**Option 1:** My marginal revenue is constant and equal to $4.00. For each bushel of corn I sell, I earn $4.00 in additional revenue.**Interactive Element:**If applicable, students can select the correct answer and submit their response by clicking
