A perfect competitor found that it could
produce a maximum output of 100 units
each day, which it can sell at the market

would make a loss. Considering this
information, under what circumstances
would it de�nitely 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 average variable cost
(AVC) would be above R100.
c. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its average �xed cost (AFC)
would be above R100.
d. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its short-run average cost
(SAC) would be above R100.
