A perfectly competitive firm can produce its current level of output at an average total cost of $10 ...

A perfectly competitive firm can produce its current level of output at an average total cost of $10 and a marginal cost of $8. If the market price of the product is currently $8, what should the firm do?

▸

The firm should definitely shut down since average total cost exceeds price.

▸

The answer depends upon the relationship between price and average variable cost. The firm should shut down if average variable cost is $8 or greater, but the firm should continue to produce the current level of output if average variable cost is less than $8.

▸

The firm should increase production in order to increase profit.

▸

The firm should continue to produce, but they should decrease production in order to increase profit.
