a)
Given Price=$1.85
In case of pure competitive market, P=Marginal Revenue, So,
Marginal Revenue=$1.85
b)
A perfectly competitive firm increases its production if MC<MR or MC=MR to maximize profit.
In this case MC<MR for 395 units, we assume that no further output is possible.
So, optimal output =395 units
At this output level ATC ($1.77) <MR ($1.85). Firm is making a profit at this Marginal Revenue.
c)
Firm is making a profit in current situation. Firm will continue its operate till price is equal to minimum ATC i.e. $1.77 in long run.
