Profit maximizing condition under competitive market is P=MC.
(a) When P=$8 , then profit maximizing quantity is approximately 4 units.
(b) Profit is represented by the rectangle area above ATC and below the price at the profit maximizing quantity. It is shown in the below graph:
(c) If the price falls to $5. Then, we can see that profit maximizing quantity is approximately 2.5 units . At this output level P<ATC but P>AVC , so firm will continue to produce in the short run.
In the long run , because firms earning negative profit ,therefore firms exit the market.
