Thank you! Please be sure to answer each question and explain! I'd also appreciate it if you plot the Firm's Short-Run Supply and the Industry's Short-Run Supply. I'll be sure to give a Thumbs up!

10. Deriving the short-run supply curve 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 che competitive market for jumpsuits. (3) For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits 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 jumpsuits and the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits.) Lastly, determine whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price. \begin{tabular}{cccc} Price (Dollars per jumpsuit) & Quantity (Jumpsuits) & Produce or Shut Down? \\ \hline 4 & Profit or Loss? \\ 8 & P & \end{tabular} 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.) Suppose there are 9 firms in this industry, each of which has the cost curves previously shown. On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the industry'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 these 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.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market. On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the industry'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 these 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.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. Ineither enter nor exit le firms will enter ne firms will exit At the current short-run market price, firms will in the short run. In the long run
