The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency between each short-run average total cost curve (SRATC) and the long-run average cost curve (LRAC); for example, 21 marks the point of tangency between SRATC, and LRAC. The orange point on SRATC, indicates the firm's current output level in the short run (@2). ?
