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. 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. On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the firm's short-run supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is positive output. (Note: For the graphing tool to grade correctly, you must plot the points in order from left to right, starting with the point closest to the origin. You are given more points to plot than you need.) Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. At the current short-run market price, firms will in the short run. In the long run,
