Explain: “The short-run rule for operating or shutting down is P > AVC, operate; P < AVC shut down. The long-run rule for continuing in business or exiting the industry is P >= ATC, continue; P < ATC, exit.”
Explain the fact that the short-run supply curve for a price taking firm is that segment of its marginal cost (MC) curvethat lies above the average variable cost (AVC) curve using a diagram. Show and explain clearly shut-down points and break-even points on your diagram. Explain your reasoning in detail.
In the short run, a firm’s decision to shutdown should not take into considerationa. avoidable costs.b. variable costs.c. fixed costs.d. MCs.
