What is the short-run equilibrium of a perfectly competitive firm?

The short-run equilibrium of a perfectly competitive firm occurs when the firm is producing at the level where marginal cost (MC) equals marginal revenue (MR), and this level of output is also equal to the minimum average variable cost (AVC). In this equilibrium, the firm is maximizing its profits or minimizing its losses.
