Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When price rises from P₂ to P₃, the firm finds that marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost at a production level of Q₂, indicating that the firm can increase its profit by producing more. However, if it produces at output level Q₃, it will earn zero profit as its total revenue will just cover its total cost. Expanding output to Q₄ would leave the firm with losses as total cost exceeds total revenue at this production level.
