Answer: Reduce output

Explanation: Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs

Therefore, profit maximization occurs therefore, profit maximization occurs at the most significant gap or the biggest difference between the total revenue and the total cost.

TC = AC×Q = $4×500 = $2,000

Theoretically, profit maximization occurs where MR = MC
