The firm does not want to produce an additional unit of output when marginal cost is than marginal revenue. C. Profit, marginal revenue, and marginal cost 1. Whenever the firm produces and sells an additional unit of a good and marginal revenue is than marginal cost, it is adding more to its total revenue than to its total cost, and therefore it is maximizing.
