Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total cost at the profit-maximizing point is found where marginal cost (MC) equals marginal revenue (MR). The area representing total cost is the area under the MC curve up to the quantity produced. Without the figure, we typically use the information given in the question or common knowledge about economics principles. Assuming profit maximization occurs where MC = MR, and given the options, if we had a specific figure, we would look for the quantity where MC intersects MR, then calculate the total cost based on the cost curve up to that quantity. Since the correct answer is provided as $480, this would be based on the specific details of the figure not visible in this format, typically involving calculating the area under the MC curve or using given data points in the figure.
