If the market price is $50 for a unit of a good produced in a perfectly competitive market and the firm's minimum average variable cost is $52, then to maximize its profit (or minimize its loss) the firm should
◦ definitely produce the unit.
◦ shut down.
◦ not produce the unit but remain open.
◦ not produce the unit. Whether the firm should shut down or remain open cannot be determined without more information.
◦ produce the unit only if the price exceeds the average fixed cost.
