Answer:
A. Shut down immediately, as the firm is not able to cover all of its variable costs.

If it shut down, it will stop the loss from operations and only leave the fixed cost.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Explanation:
Every customer matters, not only should a company focus on her seemingly high-value customers but also on their seemingly low-value customers.
