![2. Profit maximization of a seller in a competitive price-searchermarket
Consider Unico Doughnut, a doughnut shop in a competitive price-searcher market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue
(MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Assume that the shop is operating in the short run.
Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. If the shop is making a profit, use the green
rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. If the shop is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to
shade in the area representing its loss.
