... Comparing Costs and Revenues to Maximize Profit • The profit-maximizing level of output for all firms is the output level where MR = MC. • In perfect competition, MR = P, therefore, the firm will produce up to the point where the price of its output is just equal to shortrun marginal cost. • The key ...
