Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area representing the firm's loss is the rectangle P₃cb, which is below the firm's average variable cost (AVC) curve but above its marginal cost (MC) curve. This area represents the losses incurred by the firm since it is producing at a price below its AVC but above its MC, resulting in negative profit. Choice B is the only option that includes this area.
