Marginal revenue, graphically, is
A. | the vertical intercept of a line tangent to the total revenue curve at a given point. | |
B. | the slope of a line from the origin to a point on the total revenue curve. | |
C. | the horizontal intercept of a line tangent to the total revenue curve at a given point. | |
D. | the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point. | |
E. | the slope of a line from the origin to the end of the total revenue curve. |
Marginal revenue, graphically, is
the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point. Option D.the slope of the total revenue curve at a given point |
is correct answer
Reason -The Marginal Revenue Curve versus the Demand Curve.Graphically, the marginal revenue curve is always below the demand curve when the demand curve is downward sloping since when a producer has to lower his price in order to sell more of an item, marginal revenue is less than price.
