Graphically, a firm's shut down point occurs:
to the right of the bottom point of the AVC (average variable cost) curve.
at the maximum point of the AVC (average variable cost) curve.
at the bottom point of the AVC (average variable cost) curve.
to the left of the bottom point of the AVC (average variable cost) curve.
The shutdown point always occur at the minimum of the AVC , if the price falls below the average variable cost the firm should shutdown. This is becuase if the price goes below the AVC the firm is not covering the variable cost so producing further will not benefit the firm any more. The minimum of the AVC is the bottom point.
Ans: At the bottom point of the AVC.

Question 1A Graphically, a firm's profit-maximizing output can be found by identifying the intersection of the rising part of the MC curve and the MR curve and making sure that the price of the product is greater than the average total cost. identifying the intersection of the non-falling part of the MC curve and the MR curve and making sure that the price of the product is greater than the average variable cost. identifying the intersection of the rising part...
I know that A) Q*=0 and firm should
shut down and B) profits = -$1,000. But do not understand how to
get C.

3. A perfectly competitive firm sells its product for $100/unit, has $1000 in fixed costs, and has an average variable cost function and a marginal cost function given below: AVC(Q)= -20Q +500 MC(Q) = Q2 - 40Q+500 a. Determine...

The minimum point of the average variable cost curve (AVC) is referred to as the a. Break-even price. b. Shut-down price. c. Government subsidy price. d. Profit maximizing point A firm will shut down its operation temporarily if a. It is not making an economic profit. b. Marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue c. The price is equal to average total cost d. It is not making a normal profit e. It is unable to cover its variable costs.
can you show me how to draw the break even point, shut down
point graph with illustarting the numbers??
Suppose there are 1,000 firms in a perfectly competitive market for paper. Each firm's cost structure is given in the table below.

Price is between average total cost and average variable cost. d. Price is above average total cost. Question 17. Which of the following best descibes the relationship between supply curve and the marginal cost curve for the purely competitive firm in the short run? Select one: a. The...
