Answer #1

The long-run average total cost curve will be horizontal at the profit-maximizing condition because 5long-run profit-maximizing condition of perfectly competitive firm is

P=LRMC=LRATC

Since in perfect competition there is free entry and exit in long-run.

The LRAC is U shaped and LRMC cuts LRATC curve at its minimum point and LRATC curve is tangent on the price line.

As it can be seen in the diagram that LRMC, ATC curve and current price P are equal at this point and therefore profit-maximizing quantity in the long-run is Q* units.

All has been shown in the below diagram.
