Answer:

A. Marginal revenue does not have to equal marginal cost

Explanation:

The profit maximizing point is precisely at the point at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Marginal Cost: cost for an additional unit of output

Marginal Revenue: revenue for an additional unit, It is the slope of the revenue fuction.

For example a business will check the revenue generate per hour.

It will remain open until this amount equal the cost of being open that hour.

Staying longer will generate a loss from that particular hours thus, reducing profit.
