If MR > MC, output should

	a.	expand.
	b.	contract.
	c.	remain constant.
	d.	expand or contract depending on whether P > AC.

Expert Solution

Expand

MR is the addition to total revenue from sale of one more unit of output and MC is the addition to TC for increasing production by one unit. Every producer aims to maximize the total profits. For this a firm compares it's MR with MC. Profit will increase as long as MR>MC as it is possible to add to profits by expanding production. A firm will be at equilibrium when MR = MC.

A and B react as follows: A + B = C + D. The equilibrium constant is 2.0 x 10^3. If 0.30 mol of A and 0.80 mol of B are mixed in 1 L, what are the concentrations for A, B, C, and D after reaction?

explain why both monopolies and perfectly competitive firms produce the output where MR=MC. since MR=MC for both monopolies and perfectly competitive firms, why is the profit-maximizing price based on MR=MC higher than MC for the monopoly but equal to MC for perfect competition?
