Answer:

d. The firm will minimize its losses by shutting down.

Explanation:

The price multiplied the number of output is the revenue, which is less than the total cost as in this scenario. So this company is always lost.

Lost = number units x (cost – price)

The lost is as high as the number of unit produced.

Given the company do not have any room to improve the profit as it’s producing the profit-maximizing level of output; it’s the best for this firm to shut down.
