Homework Answers

Option D
D. produce less than 50 units of output.
A firm maximizes profit at MR=MC
given that MR<MC
where
MR is downward sloping and MC is upward sloping so the firm is at the right of MR=MC as the MR<MC so the firm should reduce the output to increase profit and produce at MR=MC.
