#### Graph Explanation
The graph displayed above features three key curves in microeconomics:
1. **MC (Marginal Cost)** - The blue upward-sloping curve which represents the additional cost incurred by producing one more unit of a good or service.
2. **ATC (Average Total Cost)** - The red U-shaped curve that represents the total cost per unit of output.
3. **MRDARP (Marginal Revenue, Demand, Average Revenue, Price)** - The green horizontal line that combines Marginal Revenue (MR), Demand (D), Average Revenue (AR), and Price (P) in a perfectly competitive market scenario.
At the equilibrium point, denoted as (Q, P), the quantity \( Q \) is determined by the intersection of the Marginal Cost (MC) and the MRDARP line. The point where MC equals MRDARP indicates the optimal output level in a competitive market.
#### Questions
**12. According to ACDC, what does MR DARP stand for?**
- **Answer:** Marginal Revenue, Demand, Average Revenue, Price
**13. According to the graph above, is the company making a profit, breaking even, or a loss? How do you know?**
**14. What happens if the ATC is below the MR line? Draw what this would look like.**
**15. What happens if the ATC is above the MR line? Draw what this would look like.**
- **For Question 13:**
- If the ATC curve (red) is above the MRDARP line (green), the company is making a loss.
- If the ATC curve is exactly on the MRDARP line, the company is breaking even.
- If the ATC curve is below the MRDARP line, the company is making a profit.
Students are encouraged to refer to the provided graph and use these guidelines to determine the correct financial status of the company based on the interaction of these curves.
- **For Questions 14 and 15:**
- **If the ATC is below the MR line**: This would indicate the firm is making a profit. In the graph, redraw the ATC curve such that its minimum point is lower than the MRDARP line.
- **If the ATC is above the MR line**: This would indicate the firm is making a loss. In the graph, redraw the
