This means that the firm is still able meet its variable costs by setting the price of its goods to its marginal cost which is an amount greater than its average variable cost.
Long Run Effect
However, in the long-run the company will begin to have issues even meeting other important costs such as the fixed costs associated with production and as such, the firm will need to exit the market in the long run. For instance the cost of long term loans (principal and interest) may not be covered by the net income of the firm.
