Alex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Alex produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Alex must lower his price from $80,000 to $40,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alex gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000.

A man works at an onion wholesale market in the Kawran Bazar in Dhakaa, Bangladesh, July 24, 2019.

Prices in Bangladesh doubled to 50 taka ($0.59) per kg because of floods and traders say they could rise further ahead of the Eid-ul-Adha festival in August, when demand usually goes up for the vegetable. “The upward trend due to supply shortage could continue over the next few months,” said Dhaka-based trader Hazi Shahid, adding the country has to raise imports from India to calm prices. Severe flooding has killed at least 61 people,…
