The graph usually displays profit as the area between MR and Average total cost. Why is this area considered the profit maximization in texts and not the larger area between MR and MC? I mean the total area to the left where MR=MC. THis has been confusing me? Thanks In text books when discussing profit maximization the graph shows MR=MC, MC crosses MR from under.
