Answer to Question 1

The shutdown point is the point at which the price equals minimum average variable cost. If the price falls further, the firm does not even cover its variable costs if it operates. Its loss if it operated thus exceeds the loss of shutting down and so the firm shuts down.

Answer to Question 2

D
