2.Economist claims that the equilibrium position of each firm in a perfectlycompetitive
industry the equilibrium can be atthepoint where D=P=MR=AR. At that point,you can
notice that the equilibrium market price, average revenue per unit is exactly equal to the
average cost per unit.
This means that AR*Q is exactly equal to AC*Q which means that TR is the same as TC.
