Apply the marginal principle to determine the profit-maximizing
The profit-maximizing price and output is got by taking the first order condition of the maximisation of profit function exercise. At equilibrium, marginal revenue(MR) is equal to marginal cost(MC).

- Why does a degree in price dispersion suggest that we do not have a perfect market?(ALL OWNERSHIP GOES TO CENGAGE) The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for several sellers in the market for motor scooters in College Park, a university town in Maryland. Each seller has a single-motor scooter for sale. The market price of motor scooters is given by the horizontal black line at $70. Each rectangle on the graph corresponds to a particular seller in this market: blue (circle symbols) for Kevin, green (triangle symbols) for Maria, purple (diamond symbols) for Rajiv, tan (dash symbols) for Simone, and orange (square symbols) for Yakov. (Note: The name labels are to the right of the corresponding segment on the supply curve.) Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing producer surplus for each person who is willing to sell a motor scooter at a market price of $70. (Note: If a person will not sell a motor scooter at the market price, indicate this by leaving their rectangle in its original position on the palette.) Based on the information on…Use the data below to answer the questions: A. Find the profit maximizing price. B. Find the profit maximizing quantity. C. Find the profit the firm will earn.
