Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We know, according to the profit maximization rule, Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost

According to the question, marginal cost = $64;

marginal revenue = $70.

Therefore, MR > MC. Therefore, the company should continue operating the business. Whenever the company reaches MR = MC point, the company has to produce to get the highest possible profit.
