Answer: They are both right.

Explanation:

Firms in every market will always maximise profit where their Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized. This is therefore no different in a Perfectly competitive market so Skip is correct.

Peggy is also correct however because in a Perfectly Competitive market, the demand curve is perfectly elastic. This creates a situation where the Price, Marginal Revenue and Average Revenue are all the same and represent the demand curve as well.

With the Price being the same as the Marginal Revenue in a Perfectly competitive firm, that means that where the Price equals Marginal Cost is where the Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost as well so indeed perfectly competitive firms maximize profit where price equals marginal cost.

Tell me more about an relationship​
Alona [7]

Answer:

A relationship is a true bond that you form with someone. It’s not like, “oh yea, I know that person. They’re nice I guess.” A relationship is like, “We are totes besties.” lol. Or special relationships are like, “That person is so nice. I kinda like-like them. Maybe I’ll ask them to the school dance.” B-u-u-u-t, sometimes other relationships can just be a connection you have with someone. I know this is kinda funny. lol. Good luck, and I hope this helps!
