Answer:

You should increase production.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to microeconomic theory, the equilibrium point for production is where the value of marginal cost equals the price. While the marginal cost be less than price, is accurate to say that cost productions are not being minimized. This minimization of cost is reach exactly when the marginal cost equals the price.
