Shutdown ConditionMR =MC = min AVC
• A competitive firm will maximize profit or minimize losses in the short-run by producing that output at which MR=P=MC, provided that market price (P) exceeds minimum AVC

Long-run Equilibrium• if price > min ATC
– profits attract new firms– as S increases, price drops to min ATC
• if price < min ATC– losses cause firms to exit– as S decreases, price rises to min ATC
• so, in the long run, p=min ATC
