e) The firm will supply zero output if the price is below the average variable cost.
f)5
As the cost for 6 units is 113, thus the minimum price for supplying 6 units is 18.83
c) Marginal cost. When AC is falling Mc is les than AC, and when AC is less than MC, AC is rising.
d)mc =3y^2 -16y+30
avc =y^2 -8y+30
Mc =AC at y=4
