The table below shows the average cost (AC) for a purely competitive market. The average revenue (AR) is constant at RM5 per unit and the firm’s total fixed cost (TFC) is RM4.

If the average revenue falls to RM3 per unit, calculate the firm’s new profit or loss at the equilibrium. Based on your answer, should the firm continue or stop the production? Justify.
