Answer #1

Answer
Option C
2 units
====
MR is equal to P as the P is constant

A firm maximizes profit at MR=MC
as the profit is a sum of marginal profit and the marginal profit is
MR-MC
so the profit is maximum when MR-MC=0 then MR=MC at profit maximum
MR=MC=$7 where Q=2 units and also the P>AVC
so the firm produces 2 units
