Answer. (c) 0 dollars
Explanation: Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue gained from current number of units and previous units. Total revenue is price*quantity. To find the marginal revenue of fifth unit, we need to find the difference between fifth total revenue and fourth total revenue. For the fourth unit, total revenue is 15*4 = 60 dollars. For the fifth unit, total revenue is 12*5 = 60 dollars. Hence the total revenue remains the same. Thus marginal revenue is 0 dollars.
