Solution

A perfectly competitive firm's total revenue (TR) curve will slope upwards and to the right.

Here's why:

  1. Total Revenue (TR) is calculated as the price of the good multiplied by the quantity of the good sold (TR = P*Q).

  2. In a perfectly competitive market, the firm is a price taker, meaning it accepts the market price as given. The price remains constant regardless of the quantity sold.

  3. Therefore, as the firm sells more quantity (moves along the x-axis to the right), the total revenue increases (moves along the y-axis upwards).

  4. Hence, the TR curve for a perfectly competitive firm slopes upwards and to the right.
