Solution

The marginal revenue of the 301st unit of output can be calculated by the change in total revenue divided by the change in quantity.

First, calculate the total revenue for selling 300 units at 45each:30045 each: 300 * 45 = $13,500.

Next, calculate the total revenue for selling 301 units at 44.60each:30144.60 each: 301 * 44.60 = $13,424.60.

The change in total revenue is 13,424.6013,424.60 - 13,500 = -$75.40.

The change in quantity is 301 - 300 = 1 unit.

So, the marginal revenue of the 301st unit of output is -75.40/1=75.40 / 1 = -75.40.

Therefore, the correct answer is -$75.40.
