    If the average total cost is $6 per item and the price is $8 per item then the co. will make $2 per item. In the long run equilibrium the co. will make a profit in other words. If the average total cost is $6 per item sometimes it may be a little higher and sometimes a little lower so the actual profit will fluctuate accordingly.
