. The equality of MR and MC is essential for profit maximization in all market structures because if multiple choice 1 MR and MC are equal, economic profits will be zero. MR is less than MC, producing more will increase profits. MR and MC are equal, any other output level will result in reduced profits. MR is greater than MC, producing more will lower profits.

Answer:

MR and MC are equal, any other output level will result in reduced profits.

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the increase in the total cost as a result of producing one additional unit. Marginal revenue is the increase in revenue resulting from the sale of one additional unit. Profit-maximization is the process by which a firm determines the price and output level that will result in the largest profit. The reason behind this strategy is that the total profit reaches its maximum point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost and the firm will continue to produce until marginal profit is zero. The marginal profit equals the marginal revenue minus the marginal cost.

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $87,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $29,000 or will be entitled to an additional $29,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $29,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.

The state of Oregon's wine industry specializes in the production of Pinot Noir wine, a type of red wine. Oregon's Pinot Noir is very similar to wines made in Santa Barbara and the Burgundy region of France. Oregon's Pinot Noir is also known to pair well with lamb, that is, many people choose to drink Pinot Noir while eating lamb.

For many years, states levy a special sales tax on wine often called a "sin tax". The reasoning behind these special sales taxes is that wine consumption can lead to particular social costs such as drunk driving, violence, etc.

However, many medical studies have demonstrated that moderate consumption of red wine can lower the risks for many diseases such as coronary heart disease. Thus, there are social benefits as well.

Suppose that states, in recognition of some of the benefits to wine consumption, decide to decrease the sales tax on Oregon Pinot Noir. What effect will this have on consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss.
A. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss decreases.
B. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus decreases, the deadweight loss decreases.
C. Consumer surplus decreases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss is unchanged.
D. Consumer surplus increases, producer surplus increases, the deadweight loss increases.
