In the short run, the company produces at the output level where MR intersects MC. This is at 200 pairs of shoes a week.

They price is determined by the demand curve. At 200 pairs of shoes, consumers are willing to pay $75\$75, so Lite and Kool charges $75\$75 per pair.

The company makes an economic profit, because the ATC curve is under the intersection of MR and MC.
