Answer to Question 1

A firm that has already decided the quality of its product and its marketing program produces the output at which its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost (MR = MC) because this output maximizes profit. The price is determined from the demand curve for the firm's product and is the highest price the firm can charge for the profit-maximizing quantity.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
