ANSWER
For a producer to be at equilibrium, there should be two conditions satisfied.
(1) MC curve should be rising
(2) MC=MR
The above diagram which draws MC and MR curves on the same plane shows different points.
Point B can not be at equilibrium because the MC curve is decreasing so it violates our first condition.
Point E is the equilibrium point where MR=MC and MC curve is increasing. So it satisfies both the conditions. This is the point where the producer maximizes his profits.
If MR>MC
If MR exceeds the MC then this shows that there is scope for the producer to produce more units. He can still keep on producing until the point where MR=MC.
At Point F, the profit for the producer is also not maximized so he can still produce more to maximize his profits.
MR should be equal to MC because if the producer produces more than Point E then the profit he maximized gets declining. So if he produces one more unit from here on, the MC>MR which means Marginal Profit does not equal to 0. Due to MC>MR will lead to eroding of profit.
why is MR>MC not ideal when it comes to production?? why does MR have to equal...
Economic inefficiency exists when A. MR = MC. B. P = MC. C. P = MR. D. P > MC.

Is that equal to the size of the red rectangle?
If a firm in perfect competition is producing at the quantity where MR = MC why will it not produce any more?
4) Why does the external pressure have to be equal to the internal pressure in a balloon? 5) When you blow into a balloon, why does the volume change rather than the pressure?
At a firm's current level of production, marginal revenue is less than marginal cost (MR<MC). A profit- maximizing firm will decrease prices. increase output O decrease output. shut down.
For a perfectly competitive firm, when MC is less than MR, A. economic profits must be positive. B. the producer has an incentive to decrease output. C. the producer has an incentive to expand output. D. the producer has no incentive to change production
When it comes to column chromatography, What is the purpose of irradiating azobenzene? Why does the cis-azobenzene move through the column more slowly than the trans-azobenzene?
Explain the use, reasoning and importance of MR = MC. How does this equation affect consumer welfare(benefit)?
At a firm's current level of production, marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost (MR>MC).A profit-maximizing firm will increase prices. increase output decrease output. O shut down.
Mr. J, age 23, comes to the clinic today with vague complaints of “just not feeling good”. While going through the review of systems, he offhandedly mentions that he “can’t get it up like I did in the past, but no big deal”. 1. How will the nurse respond to this comment? He reports that it is difficult to have an erection, and when he does, it only lasts a few seconds. What is he most likely describing? What questions...
