Answer to Question 1

The profit maximizing (loss minimizing) quantity for any firm to produce exists at that output level in which marginal revenue equals marginal cost (MR = MC). For the perfectly competitive firm, price (P) equals marginal revenue. Therefore, the profit maximizing quantity for the perfectly competitive firm to produce exits at that output level where P = MC.
