Using the following table, for each price level, calculate the optimal quantity of units for the firm to produce. Using the data from the graph to determine the firm's total variable cost, calculate the profit or loss associated with producing that quantity. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will choose to produce. (Hint: Select purple points (diamond symbols] on the graph to receive exact average variable cost information.) Price (Dollars per fryer) 25.00 70.00 100.00 Quantity Total Revenue Fixed Cost (Fryers) (Dollars) 30,000 (Dollars) 1,600,000 1,600,000 1,600,000 Variable Cost (Dollars) Profit (Dollars) If the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (FC) in the short run. In this case, the firm's fixed cost is $1,600,000 per day. In other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $1,600,000 per day until its fixed costs and (such as the expiration of a building lease). This firm's shutdown price-that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down-is per fryer.
