3. The components of marginal revenue Dmitri's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Dmitri produced four fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to five fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Dmitri faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Dmitri must lower his price from $105,000 to $90,000 per fire engine. Note that although Dmitri gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial four 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 four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000. 150 135 Revenue Lo 120 Demand 105 80 Revenue Gained PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fe engine 228…

On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the marginal revenue curve for a typical wheat farmer.

True or False: Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue per bushel. In this case, $4 is the marginal revenue that remains constant and equal to price. True False
8. Short-run and long run effects of a shift in demand Suppose that the tuna industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per can of tuna and a quantity of 350 million cans per year. Suppose that WebMD daims that a protein found in tuna will increase your expected lifespan by 2 years. WebMD's claim will cause consumers to demand more PRICE (Dollars per cani producing more tuna and earning positive profit Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of WebMD's claim. ? 0 tuna at every price.

1. Demand and Costs. Assume you are faced with the following demand curve,P = 20-0.5QWhere P is the dollar price per unit and Q is the number of units sold per month, and Q must be2 or more.a. Write the expression (definition) for this firm’s Total Revenue (TR)b. Write the expression for this firm’s marginal revenue (MR).c. What is Q when the P is zero?d. What is P when the Q is zero?e. Profit maximization occurs where MR=MC. If MC=$10 what is the profit maximizing levelof Q and P?f. As a business owner, you are thinking about lowering the price of this product. If youlower the price by 10% from your answer in e., will your TR rise or fall?
