      Question

      For any given price, a firm in a competitive market will

      maximize profit by selecting the level of output at which price intersects the
      A average total cost curve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B average variable cost curve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C marginal cost curve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D marginal revenue curve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A perfectly competitive firm maximizes profit by producing the quantity at which Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost (MR = MC). Since the firm is a price taker, Price = Marginal Revenue (P = MR). Therefore, the profit-maximizing output is determined where the price line intersects the marginal cost curve.
