Which of the following condition is satisfied for a firm to maximise it's profit in the short run under perfect competition?

Where, P = Price, AC = Average cost, MC = Marginal Cost.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Profit is maximised where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Since a perfectly competitive firm is a price taker, price equals marginal revenue, so the short-run condition is P=SMCP = SMC (with SMC rising at that output).
