Suppose Jason owns a small pastry shop. Jason wants to maximize his profit, and thinking back to the microeconomics class he took in college, he decides he needs to produce a quantity of pastries which will minimize his average total cost
Will Jason's strategy necessarily maximize profits for his pastry shop? A) No; In order to maximize profit, Jason would never want to produce the quantity where average total cost is minimized. B) Yes; Since Jason's pastry shop is in a perfectly competitive market, the only way to maximize profit is to produce the quantity where average total cost is minimized. C) Not necessarily; Depending on demand, Jason may maximize profit by producing a quantity other than that where average total cost is at a minimum. D) Not necessarily; This strategy will only maximize Jason's profit in the long run, but not in the short run.
