You know from your economics training that deciding how much to produce should rely on marginal concepts like marginal cost (MC). So, based on the AC table above, create a table that shows the MC of each unit. (Assume that there are no fixed costs, so total costs are zero if Q=0.) Based on MC for each unit, determine the profit-maximizing quantity to produce and sell. BRIEFLY explain your answer. (Your answer needs to be based on MC and being able to sell each unit for $21.)
