Answer to Question 1

a. The quantity is 20 meals a day.
b. The price is 12 per meal.
c. The firm is making zero economic profit, that is, the firm is earning a normal profit.
d. This is a long-run equilibrium because the firm is making zero economic profits so there is no incentive for either entry or exit.
