3. The components of marginal revenue Asim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Asim initially produced seven trucks, but then decided to increase production to eight trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Asim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Asim must lower the price from $100,000 to $50,000 per truck. Notice that Asim gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial seven 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 seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000. PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fire engine) 275 250 Asim 225 200 175…
