b.equal to its average total cost and levy a tax on the excess profit
c.greater than its marginal cost and levy a tax on the excess profit

3. A firm operating under imperfect competition finds that it can sell only 14 units of its output when the price is $15. The marginal revenue from selling the fifteenth unit is $7.50. If the firm wishes to sell 16 units, the price per unit and the marginal revenue will be which of the following?
a.Price: Less than $15 - Marginal Revenue: Less than $7.50

c. Price:Greater than $15 - Marginal Revenue: Less than $7.50
d.Price: Greater than $15 - Marginal Revenue: Greater than $7.50
e.Price: $15 - Marginal Revenue: $7.50

b.produce the output level at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost
c.produce the output level at which marginal revenue equals zero
d.produce the output level at which the demand curve intersects the marginal cost curve
e. produce where average cost is at a minimum38.

a. decrease output and increase price if marginal revenue is equal to $5
b.decrease output and decrease price if marginal revenue is equal to $5
c.decrease output and increase price if marginal revenue is equal to $15
d. increase output and increase price if margin revenue is equal to $15
