In the short run, a firm must consider the relationship between price and average variable cost when deciding whether to operate or shut down. If in the short run, at the profit maximizing output level, price < AVC, which means total revenue < total variable cost, then the firm will shut down in the short run because it won't be able to cover at least it's variable cost. If price > AVC, the firm will continue to operate in the short run and if price = AVC, the firm will be indifferent between production and shutting down in the short run.

baikopie 2sdnt slodw Consider an electric utility deciding whether to continue to operate a coal plant to produce electricity or shut it down temporarily. In the short run, the electric utility can decide how much labor to hire to operate the coal plant, but cannot increase the size of the plant nor sell it nor shut it down permanently. Average cost - the average of capital, labor, and fuel (coal) costs - is $17 per kWh....

4. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the perfectly competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run....
