Answer:

b. marginal cost equals $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal Cost is the cost of one extra unit produced.

Marginal Cost = $10,100 - $10,000 = $100

Marginal revenue is revenue earned per extra j

Unit sold. Marginal revenue equals price. $30

Marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost = (1,000 × $30) - $10,000 = $20,000

Profit is positive

I hope my answer helps you
