Explanation:
Marginal Cost = change in total cost / change in quantity
Total revenue = Price * quantity
Marginal revenue = Change in total revenue / change in quantity
Ans: Increase the price
Ans: Given your demand and cost estimates, you should charge a price of $30 if you want to maximize your weekly profit. At this price, your output will be 3 tables, and you will earn a weekly profit of $9.
Explanation:
Under monopoly or monopolistic market structure , the profit maximization condition is where marginal revenue equals marginal cost ( MR = MC ) or at the profit maximizing level of output , marginal revenue must be greater than marginal cost ( MR > MC).
It is cleared from the below table , the profit maximizing level of output is 3 tables where MR > MC. After this level of output , MC exceeds MR.
