When a firm is producing at the level of output that maximizes profit, the following is true:

Marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost.

This condition ensures that the firm is maximizing its profit, as producing additional units would lead to marginal cost exceeding marginal revenue, resulting in lower profits.
