Here's a verification of your notes: Step 1: Verify the Marginal Revenue (MR) calculation. Marginal Revenue (MR) is the change in total revenue ( TR) divided by the change in quantity ( Q). Given: When Q increases from 1 to 2, TR increases from 10 to 18. TR = TR_2 - TR_1 = 18 - 10 = 8 Q = Q_2 - Q_1 = 2 - 1 = 1 MR = ( TR)/( Q) = (8)/(1) = 8 Your calculation MR = 18 - 10 = 8 is correct. Step 2: Verify the observation about Price, Average Revenue (AR), and Marginal Revenue (MR). In markets where a firm has some market power (e.g., monopoly, monopolistic competition), to sell more quantity (Q increases), the firm must lower its price. Since Average Revenue (AR) is equal to Price (AR = (TR)/(Q) = P), if the price falls, then AR also falls. When AR is falling, MR will always be less than AR and will also be falling. This is a fundamental relationship in such market structures. Your observation that "when Q increases, Price = AR falls and MR falls" is correct. ✅ Correct. All your calculations and observations are accurate based on the principles of marginal revenue and average revenue. Send me the next one 📸
