Kevin's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Kevin produced eight fire engines, but he is considering increasing production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Kevin faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Kevin must lower his price from $100,000 to $80,000 per fire engine. Note that although Kevin would gain revenue from the additional engine he sells, he would also lose revenue from the initial eight engines because he would have to sell 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 $80,000 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 $80,000. 200 180 Revenue Lost 160 140 120 Revenue Gained Demand 100 80 60 40 20 3 4 5 6 QUANTITY (Fire engines) 7 9 10…
