  • Q3

    For a certain firm, the 100th unit of output that the firm produces has a marginal revenue of $11 and a marginal cost of $10. It follows that the

    firm's profit-maximizing level of output is less than 100 units.

    production of the 101st unit of output must increase the firm's profit by more than $1.

    production of the 100th unit of output increases the firm's profit by $1

    production of the 100th unit of output increases the firm's average total cost by $1.
