danlan Total revenue=Price*quantity
chamad A is false because the firm may increase quantity
Thescholar The trick here was to notice that the question refers to total revenue and not normal profit
thekobe yes, revenue is related only to output, it does not includes costs, thats the trick
choas69 if you make a mistake here you're learning, keep going.
MathLoser TR = P x Q
Example: P =$5 . Q = 10.

5 x 10 = 50.
5 x 11 = 55 (+10%)
5 x 12 = 60 (+9%)
5 x 13 = 65 (+8.3%)
5 x 14 = 70 (+7.69%)

I'm lost with this question.
10425406 the rate is constant because the marginal increase in TR is 5 for every single increase in output/quantity
