Profit maximization can be inferred from MR=MC since: please choose all the answers that are correct a marginal change in either direction will reduce profits, assuming diminishing marginal returns revenue = costs occurs at the breakeven point diminishing marginal returns suggest a parabolic trade-off If MR<MC then more output reduces profits If MR>MC more profit can be made by increasing output

Assume a firm's marginal costs are increasing at its current level of output: If a firm's marginal revenue is less than the marginal cost of producing the last unit of output chosen by the firm, then: Profits can be increased if the firm decreases output. The firm is certainly earning an economic profit but not as much as it could be Profits can be increased if the firm increases output. The firm's economic profit is necessarily less than zero_
