MP is equal to AP, AC is at its minimum, and MC is increasing. B. MP is greater than AP, AC is decreasing, and MC is at its minimum. C. MP is equal to AP, AC is at its maximum, and MC is decreasing. D. MP is less than AP, AC is increasing, and MC is at its maximum

Step 1

- When AP is at its maximum, the marginal product (MP) is equal to the average product (AP). This is because the marginal product curve intersects the average product curve at its maximum point. Show more…
