Complete

Mark 2.00 out of 2.00




A perfect competitor found that it could produce a maximum output of 100 units each day, which it can sell at the market
price or AR of R100, but even at this rate, it would make a loss. Considering this information, under what circumstances
would it definitely make a smaller loss if it shut down and produced nothing?


a. At an output level of 100 units a day, its short-run marginal cost (SMC) would be above R100.

b. At an output level of 100 units a day, its short-run average cost (SAC) would be above R100.

c. At an output level of 100 units a day, its average variable cost (AVC) would be above R100.

d. At an output level of 100 units a day, its average fixed cost (AFC) would be above R100.
