Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In long-run equilibrium, firms adjust their production scale to maximize profits. This means they produce at the quantity where price equals average total cost (ATC), as producing any more or any less would result in a lower profit. Therefore, in the long-run equilibrium, price will equal ATC.
