∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost: The firm's profit maximization rule is to produce the quantity where marginal cost (MC) equals marginal revenue (MR). This is because at this point, the firm cannot increase profit by producing more or less. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Profit Maximization Condition: Mathematically, the profit maximization condition is given by $MR = MC$. If $MR > MC$, the firm can increase profit by producing more. If $MR < MC$, the firm can increase profit by producing less. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ (B) produce the quantity where marginal cost equals marginal revenue ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Profit Maximization Rule ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ A firm maximizes its profit by producing the quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. This ensures that the firm is not missing out on potential profits by producing too little or incurring losses by producing too much. ⚹◊What is the formula for calculating the profit maximization rule for a firm in Microeconomics?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
