Answer:

The answer is: D) less than average variable cost.

Explanation:

If a company shuts down its production temporarily (not permanently), it will stop receiving revenue from the goods it used to produce but at the same time it will not be spending any money on variable costs. The company will suffer losses equivalent to its fixed costs (e.g. depreciation costs, rent, etc.).

A company decides to shut down its production when the revenue it receives from selling its products doesn't even cover their variable costs. That means it is losing money by producing its goods.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C) Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result

Explanation:

Price floor is the least amount a good or service can be sold. A price floor is usually set above equilibrium price.

When a price floor is enacted, it usually discourages demand because prices are usually set higher and encourages supply.

As a result, quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result.
