If the market price for the firm's product is $32, the competitive firm will produce
If the market price for the firm's product is $32, the competitive firm will produce zero units at a loss of $100. This is because at Price equals to MC condition, the output that maximises profits/minimises losses is 4 units. At Q=4, the price is less than the average variable costs. The firm will therefore will not be able to cover even its variable costs and will shut down and NOT produce any unit. So q=0 and loss will be equal to fixed costs which is $100.
