Choose the correct options from the following in respect of Break-even point(BEP) of a firm-

(A) BEP is a point of minimum AVC where the SMC curve cuts the AVC curve.

(B) BEP is a point on the supply curve at which a firm earns only normal profit.

(C) BEP is possible both in long run and short run.

(D) BEP is the point of minimum average cost at which the supply curve cuts the LRAC curve.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

At the break-even point price equals minimum average cost, so the firm earns only normal profit (B); it exists in both short run (min SAC) and long run (min LRAC) (C), and the supply curve passes through minimum average cost (D). Statement (A) describes minimum AVC, which is the shutdown point, not the break-even point. Hence (B), (C), (D).
