Answer
The firm shut down if the price is below minimum average variable
cost to minimize losses if the firm produces at price below
min(AVC) then the loss is =Fixed cost+(AVC-P)*Q
and if it shut down the loss is
=fixed cost
so the loss increases by (AVC-P)*Q
so the firm shut down the firm if the price is below min(AVC)
