In a perfectly competitive market to maximize profit, firms set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost (MR=MC). MR is the slope of the revenue curve, which is also equal to the demand curve (D) and price (P).
Here the price is $7, so when the horizontal line is drawn then this curve is said to be the MR curve and demand curve. Therefore, MR=MC gives the maximum profit output is 10 units. Option C is correct.

Label the profit-maximizing price and quantity as P* and Q*, respectively. No numbers are necessary, but be...
The above graph shows two possible marginal cost curves for the production of hoodies (hooded sweatshirts). Assume that the hoodie market is perfectly competitive. If a hoodie industry consists of 10 firms with a marginal cost curve of MC 1 and 20 firms with a marginal cost curve of MC 2, what is the quantity of hoodies supplied at a price of $12 per hoodie? $14 $13 MC 1 $12 $11 MC 2 $10 $9 $8 Marginal Cost of Hoodies...

The graph to the right shows the Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Revenue (MR) curves for a perfectly (or purely) competitive firm. Note that the Demand (D) curve is the same as the MR curve for such a MR/MC ($) firm. Assume that the cost curves here are representative of other firms in the industry. Given the current price, this firm will: earn a positive profit. earn a negative profit. earn zero economic profit. In the...
