Homework Answers
A firm produes the output where P=MC. When AVC>MC, this means that in this portion MC is falling and the firm is no longer able to cover up its variable costs, so it will not produce in this section. When P=70, then P=MC=70. At this point, AVC = 80. Since AVC>MC, the firm will shut down and will not produce anything.
When P= 85, MC is rising and the firms will produce 5 units of quantity.
When P= 95, MC is rising and the firms will produce 6 units of quantity.
Short run supply curve is depicted below (below output of 4 units the firm will not produce anyhing as it does not cover its AVC)
