Firm maximizes profit at the point : MR = MC
P = MC = MR ( in competitive market ) . So profit maximization occurs at C . The point is where MC cuts MR from below .
The price level is above ATC .
At point A it does not maximize profit . B is also not profit maximization point , but yes it would be profitable .
