What happens if a competitive firm is currently producing a level of output at which marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue?

Therefore, a firm can increase profit by reducing production when the marginal cost is higher than the marginal revenue.

When the firm produces 150 units of output Its total cost is?

When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24.50. When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24.55.

At which level of production will the firm maximize profit?

Profit is maxmized at the level of output where the cost of producing an additional unit of output (MC) equals the revenue that would be received from that additional unit of output (MR).

How many units should this firm produce to maximize profits?

To maximize profits, the firm should set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost. Given the fact that this firm is operating in a competitive market, the market price it faces is equal to marginal revenue. Thus, the firm should set the market price equal to marginal cost to maximize its profits: 9 = 3 + 2q, or q = 3.
