The firm will exit or leave the industry as its not making any profits.
<h3><u>CALCULATION OF THE PROFITS</u></h3>
According to the Question,
The firm produces at P = MC
Where we know,
Q = 55 units
P = $4.78
ATC or Average Total Cost = 6.76
AVC or Average Valuable Cost = 3
P > AVC so the firm produces to minimize losses at the MC = P.
Profit = ( P - ATC ) × Q
=( 4.78 - 6.76 ) × 55
= - 108.9
The profit is - 108.9 dollars per minute.
As the firm in the industry is making losses ( a negative profit ) so it will exit the industry in the long run.
