Briefly explain using a graph whether given statement is true or false. ‘To maximise profit, a firm should produce the quantity where the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost is the greatest. If a firm produces more than this quantity, then the profit made on each additional unit will be falling.’
Briefly explain how the total revenue for a profit-seeking firm is determined.
Briefly explain four assumptions of perfectly competitive market

- Suppose Larry runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt. The following graph shows Larry's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Larry produces. Calculate Larry's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven shirts he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity. Larry's profit is maximized when he produces shirts.
