Using the aid of a diagram how can a perfectly competitive firm make supernormal profit in a shortrun?

It makes "supernormal profit" (aka. economic profit), by having the price exceed Average Cost. Remember that PRICE is also Average revenue AND demand. So that being said, P=AR=D. Because, if they are receiving more money than it cost them to make the product, it is profitable. It is also important to keep in mind that it is impossible for a perfectly competitive firm to make "supernormal profits" in the long run. It can only be done in the short run. That is a very basic explanation of it, as I did not even mention accounting profit. However, that should be enough info.
