Explain the fact that the short-run supply curve for a price taking firm is that segment of its marginal cost (MC) curvethat lies above the average variable cost (AVC) curve using a diagram. Show and explain clearly shut-down points and break-even points on your diagram. Explain your reasoning in detail.

Explain the fact that the short-run supply curve for a price taking firm is that segment of its marginal cost (MC) curvethat lies above the average variable cost curve. Show and explain clearly shut-down and break-even points on your diagram.
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity-0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to drawit.

Illustrate and explain how the short-run supply curve of a price-taking firm is determined.
Hi. I'm a little confused on how the short run supply curve of a price taking firm is determined. Do i use the marginal costs and the average variable cost curves and use the diagram for that to find the short run supply curve
The short-run supply curve for a price-taking firm is given by: Select one: a. its short-run marginal cost curve above average fixed cost b. its entire short-run marginal cost curve c. its short-run marginal cost curve above minimum average total cost d. its short-run marginal cost curve above minimum average variable cost e. the positively sloped portion of its average cost curve
How we can understand the Long-run Normal price in increasing cost industry, and the Long-run Normal price in constant cost industry?
“If Conagra is a competitive firm, it will never operate at an output where its average total cost curve is downward sloping.” True or false? Explain. I think it's false, but I don't know why though
