“That segment of a competitive firm’s marginal-cost curve that lies above its average-variable-cost curve constitutes the short-run supply curve for the firm.” Explain.
The firm will only produce when the price is equal to or above its minimum AVC
The MC curve intersects the AVC at its minimum and the firm sets P=MC for profit maximization so it will supply when the price is greater than minimum AVC and the supply curve becomes the portion of the MC curve which lies above the minimum AVC.

ATC AVC The figure above represents a firm's marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost curves. The firm operates in a perfectly competitive market. Copy this figure into your assignment and indicate the firm's short-run market supply curve.
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity = 0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to draw it.

In the graph above, MC is the firm's marginal cost curve, ATC is the firm's average total cost curve, and AVC is the firm's average variable cost curve. If the firm faces a price between P1 and P2: the firm will stay open in both the short run and the long run. the firm will stay open in the short run but close in the long run. the firm will close in both the short and long run. - -...

Question 2 [20 marks] (a) Explain why the marginal cost curve above the average variables cost curve is referred to as the firm’s short run supply curve? ( use both verbal and diagram analysis) (6) (b) With a help of a diagram explain the following concepts: economies of scale, constant return to scale and diseconomies of scale. (6) (c) Use the indifference curve approach to derive the Marshallian demand curve. (8)
