Solution

Ans) C is the correct option. Q = 1,350 units, average profit = 5

At profit maximisation MR is equal to MC

Total revenue = price *quantity = 20*1,350 = 27,000

Total cost = ATC *quantity = 15*1350= 20,250

Profit = total revenue - total cost = 27,000 - 20,250 = 6,750

Average profit = profit /quantity = 6,750/1,350 = 5
