Difference between price and marginal cost

Assignment Help Microeconomics
Reference no: EM131685448

Question: If the perfectly competitive firm produces the output at which its marginal cost equals market price, it receives no profit (or a very tiny one) on the last unit it produces. Doesn't it make sense to produce fewer units because the difference between price and marginal cost on the last unit it produces will then be bigger?
