Write your comment of the statement in a sentence or two:In a state of equilibrium, firm’s MC should be rising. |
|
Answer» Yes. Falling MC means that the cost of producing an additional unit of output tends to reduce. In a situation when price is constant (as under perfect competition) this would mean a situation when the difference between the firm’s TR and TVC tends to increase. This means a situation when firm’s gross profit (TR – TVC) tends to rise. Why should a firm not increase output when its gross profits are rising? Certainly it will. Therefore, it is only when MC is rising that the firm will find its equilibrium output. |
