Identify the key curves on the graph: the Marginal Cost (MC) curve and the Average Total Cost (ATC) curve.
Locate the price level P1 on the vertical axis and draw a horizontal line across the graph at this price level.
Determine the quantity where the price P1 intersects the MC curve. This is the profit-maximizing quantity, as firms maximize profit where price equals marginal cost (P = MC).
Check the position of the ATC curve at this quantity. If the price P1 is above the ATC curve at this quantity, the firm is earning an economic profit.
If the price P1 is equal to the ATC curve at this quantity, the firm is breaking even. If the price P1 is below the ATC curve, the firm is suffering an economic loss.
