To determine at which price revenues are the lowest, we need to calculate the total revenue (TR) at each price level. The total revenue is calculated as:

\[ \text{Total Revenue (TR)} = \text{Price} \times \text{Quantity Sold} \]

Let's calculate the total revenue for each price level in the chart:

  1. At price $20:

    • Quantity Sold = 20
    • TR = $20 * 20 = $400
  2. At price $18:

    • Quantity Sold = 25
    • TR = $18 * 25 = $450
  3. At price $16:

    • Quantity Sold = 30
    • TR = $16 * 30 = $480
  4. At price $14:

    • Quantity Sold = 35
    • TR = $14 * 35 = $490
  5. At price $12:

    • Quantity Sold = 40
    • TR = $12 * 40 = $480

Next, we can summarize the total revenues calculated:

  • At $20: $400
  • At $18: $450
  • At $16: $480
  • At $14: $490
  • At $12: $480

From the calculations, it's evident that the total revenue is lowest at the price of $20, where TR is $400.

Thus, the answer is: b. $20
