When a business wants to maximise profit it chooses the level of production that gives maximum revenue at lowest cost. Since the average cost is rising, the manager should ask for the marginal cost of production.

To achieve maximize profit the manager needs to get a production level at which marginal cost is lowest at highest revenue,

Maximum profit = marginal cost (lowest at highest revenue)
