### Transcription of the Image on Marginal and Average Cost Curves#### IntroductionThe diagram represents the following curves for a firm across different output levels:- Marginal Cost (MC) Curve- Average Total Cost (ATC) Curve- Average Variable Cost (AVC) Curve- Marginal Revenue (MR) Curve#### Detailed Analysis of the Graph- **X-axis (Horizontal):** Represents Quantity of output.- **Y-axis (Vertical):** Represents Price.- **Curves:** - **MC (Marginal Cost) Curve:** Starts at the bottom and rises, crossing the MR curve at point G. - **ATC (Average Total Cost) Curve:** Lies above the AVC curve. - **AVC (Average Variable Cost) Curve:** Lies next to the MC curve and rises. - **MR (Marginal Revenue) Curve:** A horizontal line at price level R, indicating a constant price of $10.- **Significant Points:** - **F, G, Z, H, M:** Intersection points between curves. - **D:** Minimum point of the AVC curve. - **A, B, C, K:** Output levels corresponding to various intersections, marked by vertical dashed lines.#### Problem StatementAssuming the price at OR is $10, identify the profit-maximizing output level for the firm based on:1. OA, where marginal cost just covers AVC.2. OB, where average profit per unit is the greatest.3. OC, where marginal cost equals the $10 price.4. OK, where average cost equals marginal revenue, leading to a normal rate of return.This explanation includes the structure and significance of each curve and point, facilitating an understanding of how firms determine their optimal level of output.

Marginal cost is defined as the cost which is incurred by the producer in order to produce one more…

The following graph plots the marginal cost (MC) curve, average total cost (ATC) curve, and average variable cost (AVC) curve for a firm operating in the competitive market for snapback hats. COSTS (Dollars) 100 100 80 90 80 20 70 70 HD 50 40 30 20 0 11 D 10 O MC Price (Dollars per snapback) 15 15 20 25 55 70 85 201 ATC 0 D AVC O 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of snapbacks) For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of snapbacks for the firm. Further, select whether the firm will choose to produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. (Assume that when price exactly equals average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero snapbacks and the profit-maximizing quantity of snapbacks.) Lastly, determine whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price. □ Quantity (Snapbacks) BO 100 ▼ On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to…
