Using a correctly labeled graph for Fresh Farm, show each of the following in the short run i. The marginal cost curve and average total cost, labeled MC and ATC, respectively ii. Fresh Farm's price and loss-minimizing quantity, labeled P; and Q, respectively. iii. The average variable cost curve, labeled AVC b.
