Homework Answers
15. Option C is correct.
Profit maximising level of output is produced at a point where MR = MC, i.e, q3 units.
At this level, price charged is A and total cost incurred is B. Since total cost is greater than price, so the firm incurs a loss. This is depicted by area BEHA.
16. Option A is correct.
Thisis because the market is perfectly competitive and there are no barriers to entry and exit. In the long run, this super normal profit will attract other firms to enter the industry and because of competition, the price will fall.

To maximize profit, a price taker will expand its output as long as the sale of additional units adds more to revenues (marginal revenues) than to costs (marginal costs). Therefore, the profit-maximizing price taker will produce the output level at which marginal revenue (and price) equals marginal cost. In a price-taker market, if a business produces efficiently (i.e., that is, where marginal revenues = marginal costs), the firm will be able to make at least a normal profit. True of...
