Expert Solution
Step 1

Revenue is the total income generated by the sales of goods and services produced in the economy. Average revenue is the revenue divided by the total number of output produced. Marginal revenue is the additional revenue earned from one additional unit of output produced. Both the marginal and average revenue curves are downward sloping. Average revenue is maximised when marginal revenue equals average revenue.
