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.
e. No, the firm is not producing its efficient scale of output. It is producing less than the efficient scale. The efficient scale, where the average total cost is at is minimum, is 50 meals a day. Hence the firm has excess capacity.
