Profit: Total revenue minus total cost.Profit = TR – TC
where,
Total Revenue (TR): Price multiplied by quantity, units or output produced.
TR=P x Q

Conclusions:
The PMLO is where the difference between total revenue and total cost is the greatest.
The PMLO is also where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, or MR=MC.
One more conclusion:
For a firm in a perfectly competitive industry, price is equal to marginal revenue, or P=MR. So, it logically follows that P=MC, because MR=MC

When P > ATC, the firm makes a profit

When P = ATC, the firm breaks even (its total cost equals its total revenue)
When P < ATC, the firm experiences losses

In the short-run a firm suffering losses has two choices:
Continue to produce: Only if TR is greater than its variable costs.
Stop production by shutting down temporarily
Sunk cost: A cost that has already been paid and that cannot be recovered.

Shutdown point :The minimum point on a firm’s average variable cost curve; if the price falls below this point, the firm shuts down production in the short run.

Long-run Competitive Equilibrium:The situation in which the entry and exit of firms have resulted in the typical firm just breaking even.

Long-run Supply Curve:A curve showing the relationship in the long run between market price and the quantity supplied.
In the long-run, a perfectly competitive market will supply whatever amount of a good consumers demand at a price
determined by the minimum point on the typical firm’s average total cost curve.

Allocative Efficiency:The situation where every good or service is produced up to the point where the last unit provides a marginal benefit to consumers equal to the marginal cost of producing it. For allocative efficiency to hold, firms must charge a price equal to marginal cost.

Productive Efficiency:
The situation where every good or service is produced at the lowest possible cost. For productive efficiency to hold, firms must produce at the minimum point of average total cost.
