You do not need to show any work for the following questions.
(a) Give the longest interval on which marginal revenue is positive.
ANSWER: from q = to q = thousand Things
(b) Give the longest interval on which prot is increasing.
ANSWER: from q = to q = thousand Things
(c) Find the quantity at which marginal prot is equal to 0.
ANSWER: q = thousand Things
(d) Mark each of the following as True (T) or False (F).
i. The graph of MC is a horizontal line.
ii. The graph of MC looks exactly like the graph of TC.
iii. The cost to produce the 5,001
st
Thing is the same as the cost to produce
the 20,001
st
Thing.
iv. The graph of MR is always decreasing.
v. There are two quantities at which TR = TC.
vi. There are two quantities at which MR = MC.
vii. If quantity changes from 10,000 to 10,001 Things, TR will increase.
viii. If quantity changes from 10,000 to 10,001 Things, TC will increase.
ix. If quantity changes from 10,000 to 10,001 Things, MR will increase.
