Total Cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
Marginal Cost is change in total cost when output rises
Total Revenue = Price * Quantity
Marginal Revenue is change in total revenue when output rises
Firm will produce at a point when marginal revenue = marginal cost which occurs when output level is 3 units. Profit at this level is -2. A erage variable cost at this output level is (13 / 3) = 4.33 which is more than the price they receive. Thus, firm will not operate in short run. In long run, there would be no fixed cost while total cost = total variable cost. Average variable cost in long run would be (14 / 3) = 4.66 while price would be same, thus would not even produce in long run.
