Answer:

Short-run decision = Do not shut down.

Long-run decision = Exit.

Explanation:

Generally, when the average variable cost is greater than the unit selling price, the firm will shut down in the short-run.

Variable cost = Total cost - fixed cost

Variable cost = $280 - $30

Variable cost = $250

Average variable cost = $250/10 = $25

Selling price = $27

Therefore, selling price > average variable cost, the firm will not shut down in the short-run.

Again, when the average total cost is greater than the unit selling price, the firm will exit in the long-run.

Total cost = $280

Average total cost = $280/10 = $28

Selling price = $27

Since, Average total cost > selling price, the firm will exit in the long-run.

=0.50(78,260.87)+0.50(101,739.13)
