a) At what quantity should the company continue to produce even if they suffer a loss? Explain why? Answer: For it to make sense for the company to continue production they will have to produce a quantity of 6 (MC = AVC) . This is because to have to continue operation you need to be making more than if you were to shut down, therefore your revenue would have to be higher the Average variable cost b) At what quantity they will have break-even point, explain why? Answer: 6.5, because break-even point is marginal cost intersects with average total cost, which is the point where they can begin to turn a profit. c) Does the total fixed cost vary with the produced quantity (short-term) ? And how does the average fixed cost vary when increase or decrease the quantity produced Answer: No because total fixed cost always remains the same in the short-run, as it remains the same AFC increases when produced quantity decreases and the other way around.
