Title: Deriving the Short-Run Supply Curve---In a perfectly competitive market for halogen lamps, understanding cost structures is crucial for firms to determine their supply. Below is a description of a graph that illustrates various cost curves relevant to a typical firm in this industry.---### Graph Analysis:#### Axes:- **Horizontal Axis (X-Axis):** Quantity of Output (Thousands of lamps)- **Vertical Axis (Y-Axis):** Price and Cost (per lamp)#### Curves Displayed:1. **Marginal Cost (MC) Curve:** - Represented by an orange line with square markers. - Typically U-shaped, indicating that the marginal cost decreases initially with increased output due to economies of scale and then increases due to diseconomies of scale.2. **Average Total Cost (ATC) Curve:** - Represented by a green line with circular markers. - U-shaped due to the initial spread of fixed costs over more units as production increases, followed by increasing variable costs.3. **Average Variable Cost (AVC) Curve:** - Represented by a purple line with no markers. - Lies below the ATC curve and is also U-shaped, but starts to rise after reaching a minimum point.The intersection of the MC curve with the ATC and AVC curves provides critical insights into pricing and production decisions. The MC curve initially falls, reaches a minimum, and then rises, showing the cost to produce an additional unit. Understanding these intersections can aid firms in setting output levels that maximize profitability in the short run.---This graph is a fundamental tool for analyzing how a firm in a competitive market determines its short-run supply based on cost structures. **Homework (Ch 08)**When the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero lamps and the loss-minimizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.| Price (Dollars per lamp) | Output (Lamps) | Produce or Shut Down? | Profit or Loss? ||--------------------------|----------------|-----------------------|-----------------|| 4 | | | || 8 | | | || 12 | | | || 36 | | | || 48 | | | || 60 | | | |On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the firm's short-run supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is positive output. *(Note: You are given more points to plot than you need.)***Graph Explanation:**The graph titled "Firm's Short-Run Supply" has the y-axis labeled "Price (Dollars per lamp)" ranging from 32 to 80, in increments of 8. The x-axis is not labeled but is implied to represent quantity or output. An orange square symbol is used for plotting specific points on the graph to represent the firm's short-run supply curve.
