Answer

The statement describes a scenario in economics, specifically related to revenue concepts when a firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve.

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate Marginal Revenue (MR).

    Marginal Revenue (MR) is the change in total revenue from selling one additional unit.
    Given:
    When quantity (Q) increases from 1 to 2, Total Revenue (TR) increases from 10 to 18.

    MR=TR2−TR1=18−10=8\text{MR} = \text{TR}_2 - \text{TR}_1 = 18 - 10 = 8

    The calculation for MR is correct.

  2. Calculate Average Revenue (AR) and Price.

    Average Revenue (AR) is total revenue divided by quantity (AR=TRQ\text{AR} = \frac{\text{TR}}{\text{Q}}). In a single-price market, AR is equal to the price (P).
    For Q1=1\text{Q}_1 = 1:

    AR1=TR1Q1=101=10\text{AR}_1 = \frac{\text{TR}_1}{\text{Q}_1} = \frac{10}{1} = 10 Price1=10\text{Price}_1 = 10

    For Q2=2\text{Q}_2 = 2:

    AR2=TR2Q2=182=9\text{AR}_2 = \frac{\text{TR}_2}{\text{Q}_2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 Price2=9\text{Price}_2 = 9
  3. Analyze the relationships.

    As quantity (Q) increases from 1 to 2:

    • Price falls from 10 to 9.
    • Average Revenue (AR) falls from 10 to 9.
    • Marginal Revenue (MR) for the second unit is 8. Notice that MR (8) is less than AR (9) for the second unit. This is consistent with AR falling. When AR is falling, MR is always below AR and also falls.

    The statement "Notice that Q is increase price - AR is falls and MR falls" accurately describes this economic principle. When a firm must lower its price to sell more units (as in imperfect competition), both the average revenue (price) and marginal revenue will fall, with marginal revenue falling faster than average revenue.

    The statement and its calculations are correct.
