As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Femi must lower the price from $105,000 to $90,000 per truck. Notice that Femi gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial four engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000.
