A. O is the AVC curve . N is the ATC curve. M is the MC curve.
Curve M must cross curves N and O at their minimum points.
AFC is represented in this figure by vertical distance between curve N and curve O
B. I. If market price is P4, firm's profit maximizing output= Q3. (As at perfect competition P= MC). Economic profit is greater than zero
ii. If the market price is P3, firm's profit maximizing output = q2. Economic profit is less than zero.
iii. If the market price is less than AVC, firms will shut down
Because firms can not overvomo the fixed cost when price is below AVC.
