Explanation / Answer

Question 6

Graph II. In the long run, perfectly competitive firm will be in equilibrium when P=MC and MC=AC. The firm is able to cover the ATC.

Question 7

Graph I, because price is greater than ATC.

Question 8

Graphs III and IV, since price is lower than the ATC.

Question 9

Graph I, because the firm is earning super normal profit. P is greater than ATC.
