- You learn that a firm's average total costs (ATC) and average variable costs (AVC) are exactly equal. What does that mean? O Marginal cost is zero O ATC and AVC must be equal to zero O Average fixed costs (AFC) are zero O Economic profit is positive O Economic profit is negativeThe owner of Tie-Dyed T-shirts, a perfectly competitive firm, hires you to give him economic advice. He tells you that the market price for his shirts is $15 and that he is currently producing 200 shirts at an AVC of $10 and an ATC of $20. What would you recommend that he do? O a. Tell him that you cannot make any recommendations until you know what his fixed costs are. O b. Continue producing in the short run, as his loss from production is less than his fixed costs, but exit the industry in the long run if there are no changes in economic conditions. Oc Shut down in the short run, as he is incurring a loss, and leave the industry in the long run, if there are no changes in economic conditions. O d. Continue to produce in the short run, even though he is earning a loss, and expand production in the future hoping to increase market share and total revenue.What will happen when variable costs rise in a perfectly competitive industry?
