Answer: A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC.
Explanation:
The goal of every firm is to minimize cost and also maximize profits and therefore the firm will operate at the output level where the marginal revenue and the marginal cost equates.
A firm should not continue production when its MR is lower than its AVC. Here, the firm will incur a higher loss during production as producing will not offset the variable cost. Therefore, it's better to shut down.
To solve: add up all in the labor costs and then divide by the number of units produced to get the per unit cost of the labor.
<span>Direct materials = $4,400
Direct labor = $5,600
Factory overhead = $2,400
Units produced = 1,000
Per unit cost = ($4,400 + $5,600 + $2,400)/1,000
Per unit cost = $12,400/1,000
Per unit cost = $12.40</span>

Explanation: As, in the given case we need to compute the depreciation tax shield, we will use marginal corporate tax rate instead of average corporate tax rate as it will result in additional savings to the company in the form of taxes it paid.
Thus, shield amount can be computed as follows :-
($4,000,000) * (35%) = $1,400,000
