Explanation:
To determine the type of profit a firm makes, we need to compare the average revenue (AR) and average cost (AC) of production.
If AR>AC, the firm makes a profit.
If AR=AC, the firm makes a normal profit.
If AR
In this case, AR=Rs. 10 and AC=Rs. 8.
Therefore, the firm makes a gross profit of Rs. 2 per unit sold.
However, to determine if the firm makes a supernormal profit, we need to compare the profit per unit to the opportunity cost of capital.
If the profit per unit is greater than the opportunity cost of capital, the firm makes a supernormal profit.
If the profit per unit is equal to the opportunity cost of capital, the firm makes a normal profit.
If the profit per unit is less than the opportunity cost of capital, the firm makes a subnormal profit.
Since we do not have information about the opportunity cost of capital, we cannot determine if the firm makes a supernormal profit.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, the firm makes a gross profit but we cannot determine if it makes a supernormal profit without additional information.
