So the key thing here is that it's a competitive market.
00:03
And in a competitive market, firms maximize profit by setting price equal to marginal cost, right? they can't control the price.
00:12
So if i draw this market, right? quantity, price, let's put the price at five.
00:19
So if i put the price, sorry, not at five, the price is at 50.
00:24
Price is at 50.
00:26
So here's my price.
00:28
And we have this marginal cost curve in blue, which is looking like this.
00:33
And you'll notice it crosses it twice, but the crucial thing, this intersection is what matters, right? because when the marginal cost is below the price you're making profits, so you wanna continue.
00:46
And if i eyeball that really closely, i can't tell exactly on this image, but to me, it looks like a quantity of 37 .5.
00:58
You can probably hover over that point on your image to give you exactly where it is, but it looks like it's between 35 and 45...
