ginal revenue at each rate of output. Based on
marginal analysis, what is the profit-maximizing
rate of output for the pizzeria?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb87853cf-da56-43dc-8667-15f840f72c92%2Ff4a4cc50-94e1-4d6d-84dd-d193d731de49%2Fwpkf2k_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
