    Earning an economic profit of $600.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Firm is producing 300 units of output, P = $10

    ATC of the 300th unit = $8

    Marginal cost of the 300th unit = $10

    AVC of the 300th unit = $6

    Using the given information,

    Economic profit = (P - ATC) * Q

    Profit = (10 - 8) * 300

    Profit = (2) * 300

    Profit = $600

    Earning an economic profit of $600.
