Answer: The level of 300 units of activity A maximizes net benefits.
This is because at 300 units of activity A, marginal benefit = marginal cost which is the equilibrium condition.
If the activity is increased by 1 unit, net benefits decrease because total cost will be more than total benefit.Thus all other options are incorrect.

(1) Suppose that Ralf enjoys collecting morel mushrooms from the forest. The marginal benefit that he receives (in dollar terms) from each additional mushroom can be represented by the function MB = 42 – 4m (where m represents the quantity of mushrooms). Ralf’s marginal cost of collecting mushrooms is given (in dollar terms) by the function MC = 2m. A.How many morel mushrooms will Ralf optimally collect? In other words, what quantity of mushrooms maximizes Ralf's net benefits? Show your...
