The figure shоws the grаph оf fоur curves in the first quаdrаnt of a coordinate plane. The horizontal axis is labeled “Quantity” and the vertical axis is labeled “Cost comma Price.” The quantities Q sub 1, Q sub 2, Q sub 3, and Q sub 4 are indicated from left to right on the horizontal axis. Q sub 1 is located about one fifth of the way along the horizontal axis. The distance from Q sub 2 to Q sub 1 is about the same as the distance from Q sub 1 to the origin. The distance from Q sub 3 to Q sub 2 is a little less than the distance from Q sub 2 to Q sub 1. The distance from Q sub 4 to Q sub 3 is about one third of the distance from Q sub 3 to Q sub 2. The value P is indicated on the vertical axis, about halfway up the axis. The four curves are labeled M R equals d, M C, A V C, and A T C. Curve M R equals d begins on the vertical axis at P and moves horizontally to the right until it ends to the right of Q sub 4 at a height of P. Curve M C begins about halfway between the vertical axis and Q sub 1, and slightly below curve M R equals d. Curve M C moves nearly horizontally to the right until it reaches its lowest point at Q sub 1. From this point, curve M C begins to move upward and to the right, gradually at first and then more steeply. It intersects curve M R equals d at the point with coordinates Q sub 2 comma P, continues upward and to the right, and ends to the right of Q sub 4 and high above P. Curve A V C begins about three fourths of the way up the vertical axis and slightly to the right of Q sub 1. It moves downward and to the right, begins to level out, and reaches its lowest point where it intersects curve M C at Q sub 3. Curve A V C then moves upward and to the right, and ends to the right of Q sub 4 and at a similar height to where it began. Curve A T C begins above and to the right of the starting point of curve A V C and to the left of Q sub 2. Curve A T C moves downward and to the right, begins to level out, and reaches its lowest point where it intersects curve M C at Q sub 4. Curve A T C then moves upward and to the right, and ends slightly above the end point of curve A V C. The graph provided shows the demand (d), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and the average total cost (ATC) curves for a perfectly competitive firm. In order to maximize short-run profits, this perfectly competitive firm should produce at which of the following quantities of production?
