Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) level of output for a firm occurs where marginal cost (MC) is equal to marginal revenue (MR), according to economic theory. This is because at this point, the cost of producing one more unit is exactly balanced by the revenue it generates, ensuring no additional profit can be made by increasing or decreasing production.
