Explanation / Answer

Answer
The firm produces at P=MC or closest smaller MC
MC of n the unit=(TC of n units -TC of p units )/(n-p)...............n>p
MC(2)=75-50=25
MC(3)=135-75=60
MC(4)=205-135=70
MC(5)=285-205=80
MC(6)=375-285=90
MC(7)=475-375=100
Sophia will grow 5 trees where MC is closest smaller than P
80<85
