SHORT-RUN PRODUCTION ALTERNATIVES: A firm faces three production options in the short run based on a comparison between price, average total cost, and average variable cost. If price is greater than average total cost, a firm earns an economic profit by producing the quantity that equates marginal revenue with marginal cost.

If price is less than average variable cost, a firm shuts down production in the short run, incurring an economic loss equal to total fixed cost.
