A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 200 units of output. It has average revenue of $9 and average total cost of $7. It follows that the firm's O a. average variable cost curve intersects the marginal cost curve at an output level of less than 200 units. O b. average total cost curve intersects the marginal cost curve at an output level of less than 200 units. O c. profit is $400. O d. All of the above are correct.
