Answer #1

The output corresponding to the intersection of MR and MC curves is the profit maximising output. In this figure that output is 11 units.

The profits are the difference between the total revenue and the total cost of production. The area of rectangle for profits = (550-450)*11 = 1100

The rectangle of profits has side of (550-450)= 100 and the other side as 11 units which is the output.
