To determine
Profit maximizing level of output
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Q | Total cost | Marginal cost |
0 | $2 | |
1 | 10 | 8 |
2 | 20 | 10 |
3 | 33 | 13 |
4 | 50 | 17 |
5 | 71 | 21 |
At an output level of 3, the firm will earn a maximum profit because marginal cost went below the marginal revenue to being above MR at a quantity of four. And, it is passing by MR at the output level of 3.
MR is $15/unit. And, after 3 units the MC starts increasing more than MR, therefore, 3 units are the profit maximization level of output.
