The following graph shows the short-run average total cost curves for different plant sizes and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing firm. The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency between each short-run average total cost (ATC) curve and the long-run average total cost (LRATC) curve; for example, Q1 marks the point of tangency between ATC1 and LRATC. The orange point on ATC3 indicates the firm's current output level in the short run (Q4). ATC, ATC5 LRATC ATC2 ATC, ATC.
