A firm maximizes profit by operating where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. In the short run, a change in fixed costs has no effect on the profit maximizing output or price.
When a firm is making a profit maximizing?
Profits are therefore maximized when the firm chooses the level of output where its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost. To illustrate the concept of profit maximization, consider again the example of the firm that produces a single good using only two inputs, labor and capital.
At what quantity is the firm maximizing profit?
The profit-maximizing choice for a perfectly competitive firm will occur at the level of output where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost—that is, where MR = MC. This occurs at Q = 80 in the figure.
