Suppose Dmitri runs a small business that manufactures frying pans. Assume that the market for frying pans is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per frying pan. The following graph shows Dmitri's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for frying pans quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Dmitri produces. Dmitri's profit is maximized when he produces frying pans. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last frying pan he produces is , which is than the price Dmitri receives for each frying pan he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional frying pan (that is, one more frying pan than would maximize his profit) is , which is than the price Dmitri receives for each frying pan he sells. Therefore, Dmitri's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Dmitri is a price taker, this last condition…
