Respuesta :

Answer:

c) produce in the short run but shut down in the long run.

Explanation:

Option C is correct because the price charged is above the average variable cost which means the firm is still covering its variable cost of production. Moreover, if the firm still continues the same in the long run then it will shut down its operation. But if the price charged is below or equal to average variable cost then the firm will shut down its production even in the short run.
