In a scenario where a company’s total revenue begins to decrease after a certain level of output, what should the company consider in deciding whether to reduce production?

When a company's total revenue starts to decrease after a certain level of output, it signals that producing more is no longer profitable. The company should first analyze its costs, including fixed costs that remain the same regardless of production and variable costs that change with output. If the cost of producing each additional unit is higher than the revenue it generates, it might be wise to reduce production to avoid losses. For example, if a toy factory makes 1,000 toys and earns $10,000, but producing 1,001 toys only adds $9 in revenue while increasing costs, the factory should consider making fewer toys to maximize profit. Ultimately, the goal is to find the right balance where production costs do not outweigh the revenue earned.
