Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The price of Kate's breakfast special is $5.

The average variable cost is $3.95.

The average fixed cost is $1.25.

The average total cost

= $3.95 + $1.25

= $5.20

The price is not covering the average total cost but it is covering the average variable cost. The firm can continue operating in the short run but stop production in the long run.
