Producer's equilibrium refers to a situation, where a producer is producing that level of output, at which its profits are maximum. In other words, it is a situation of profit maximization.

Following are the two conditions of producer's equilibrium:

(i) MR = MC

(ii) MC must be rising at the point of equilibrium or MC curve must cut MR curve from below:

These conditions are satisfied when 4 units of output are produced in the given schedule.
