The following figure shows the average cost curve, demand curve, and marginal revenue curve for a monopolist. After maximizing profits, what does the firm’s revenue equal? Question 2 options: the area of rectangle ABGH the area of rectangle BDEG the area of rectangle BCFG the area of rectangle ADEH This graph illustrates a typical structure used in economic analysis, representing various cost and revenue curves faced by a firm under different market conditions.### Labels and Curves:- **Vertical Axis (Y-axis):** Measures Price (P), Marginal Revenue (MR), Average Cost (AC), and Marginal Cost (MC). - **Horizontal Axis (X-axis):** Measures Quantity.### Curves:1. **Demand Curve:** Slopes downward from left to right, indicating the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.2. **Marginal Revenue (MR) Curve:** Lies below the demand curve, reflecting that marginal revenue decreases as quantity increases.3. **Average Cost (AC) Curve:** U-shaped, representing the average cost per unit at different levels of production.4. **Marginal Cost (MC) Curve:** Typically upward sloping, intersecting the AC curve at its lowest point, showing the additional cost of producing one more unit.### Key Points and Lines:- **Point D:** Corresponds with a higher price level on the demand curve.- **Point E:** The point where the MC curve intersects the demand curve, indicating the profit-maximizing level of output under perfect competition.- **Point F:** The point where the MR curve intersects the MC curve, indicating the firm's profit-maximizing output.- **Levels A, B, C, G, H:** Horizontal dashed lines representing different price or cost levels. - **Line A-G-H:** Represents the minimum cost and related output levels. - **Line B-G-C:** Connects the price under marginal cost conditions to the average cost.### Analysis:- **Profit Maximization:** Occurs where the MR curve intersects the MC curve (at Point F). This is where firms maximize profit by aligning cost with revenue for optimal output.- **Costs and Revenue Intersection:** The graph effectively represents how a firm adjusts its production to achieve economic efficiency, balancing between marginal cost and revenue while considering demand and average costs.This analysis forms the foundation for understanding firm behavior in different competitive environments, aiding in better decision-making for optimizing performance in markets.

Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
