Suppose a firm’s profit function P(q)P(q) is twice-differentiable with respect to the quantity qq produced and sold. If the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost at q=q0q=q_0 and P′′(q0)<0P''(q_0)<0, which of the following is the most accurate conclusion about the profit at q0q_0? a) q0q_0 yields a point of inflection of PP. b) q0q_0 yields a relative maximum of PP. c) Profit is increasing for all q>q0q>q_0. d) q0q_0 yields a relative minimum of PP.
