If Jacques's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $80,000 were the market price for an engine, decreasing its price
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

false (b)

Explanation:

Reduction in the price of a good or service in a competitive market leads to an increase in quantity demanded, which in turn leads to an increase in the production quantity, to cater for the increase in the volume of demand. Hence the reduction in the price of Jacques's fire engines will increase demand and in effect increase the production quantity. With respect to the total revenue, depending on the extent of demand increase, the total revenue might increase or even decrease. If the total demand exceeds the previous demand to make up for the reduction in price, the total revenue will increase, if not so, the total revenue will decrease.
