选择使利润最大化的产量
价格接受者的收益随产量线性增长，因此边际收益等于价格；当价格线与上升的边际成本相交时，利润达到最大，此时以平均成本为基准衡量，就得到一个利润矩形。

5. The rule
A price-taking firm faces a market price of 7 dollars. At its current output of 50 units, marginal cost is 6 dollars and rising. What should it do?
6. The rectangle
At its best quantity of 80 units, a firm's price is 7 dollars and its average total cost is 4 dollars. What is its economic profit?
7. The margin on the last unit
A firm maximizes profit by producing where price equals marginal cost. Its price is 9 dollars and at the profit-maximizing output of 120 units its marginal cost is 9 dollars and its average total cost is 7.50 dollars. Compute its total profit and write the number.
8. Which way to adjust output
A price-taking firm faces a price of 7 dollars, and at its current output of 50 units its marginal cost is 6 dollars. What should it do?
9. Reading the profit rectangle
At its best quantity of 80 units, a firm's price is 7 dollars and its average total cost is 4 dollars. What is its total profit?
10. Profit at the best quantity
A firm maximizes profit where price equals marginal cost. Its price is 9 dollars, its average total cost at that output is 6 dollars, and it sells 70 units. Compute total profit in dollars, and write the number.
