Profit Maximization
How Firms Maximize Profit
Maximization of profit by firms is done like so:
- Firms produce where Marginal REvenue (MR) is equal to Marginal Cost (MC)
- Average Total Cost (ATC) typically is shown with a "U-shape" on these types of graphs whereas MC has more of a "nike swoosh" type representation.
