The portion of marginal cost (MC) above the average variable cost (AVC) curve is the short-run supply curve.
The portion of marginal cost (MC) above the average total cost (ATC) curve is the long-run supply curve.
Therefore, segment CE represents the short-run 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.
