3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Ana runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a perfectly competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt. The following graph shows Ana's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for the first seven shirts that Ana produces, including zero shirts.

3. The components of marginal revenue Jabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced seven trucks, but then decided to increase production to eight trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari's Hook NLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $100,000 to $50,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari 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.
