Answer:

Shut down as P < AVC.

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $24

Average variable cost = $25

Average total cost (ATC) = $30

Marginal cost = $24

He should shut down because the price received by him for the product is less than average variable cost. He should shut down its operations because he won't be able cover the average variable cost associated with the production of the product.

Price = $24 which is less than average variable cost of $25.

If he will be able to cover its variable cost then he will continue operating in this market condition.
