Answer:
Option B. It is unrealistic
Explanation:
The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.
Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.
The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.
Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.

Answer:
B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
Explanation:
Marginal revenue can become negative for monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
A monopolist’s marginal revenue is always less than or equal to the price of the good.
Marginal revenue is the amount of revenue the firm receives for each additional unit of output. It is the difference between total revenue – price times quantity – at the new level of output and total revenue at the previous output (one unit less).
Since the monopolist’s marginal cost curve lies below its demand curve. When a monopoly increases amount sold, it has two effects on total revenue:
– the output effect: More output is sold, so Q is higher.
– the price effect: To sell more, the price must decrease, so P is lower.
For a competitive firm there is no price effect. The competitive firm can sell all it wants at the given price.
So the marginal revenue on a monopolist's additional unit sold is lower than the price, <u>because it gets less revenue for selling additional units.</u>
<u>Marginal revenue can become negative – that is, the total revenue decreases from one output level to the next.
