Group of answer choices
We can see that TR = 20 * 31 = $620
TC = 640 * 31 + 500 = $ 20340
Profit = TR - TC = - $19721
So , Firm is making so much loss , but this might not be only reason to leave the market . The core reason is that firmS Average variable cost = 640/20 = $32 is greater than price , this means that firm is not able to even carry out it's variable cost . If this variable cost is less than price , then firm will continue it's business even at a loss but in this case firm will shutdown .
