Answer:

The firm should shut down the production.

Explanation:

The given marginal costs = $25

Fixed cost of the production = $5000

The price of producing the 50 units of meals = $10

The new price of the meal when demand goes up = $20

Since it can be seen that the price of the meal is lower than the average cost or even it is less than the marginal cost. So, when the prices are lower than average cost then a firm should shut down the production because after shutting down the production the loss will be equal to the fixed cost only.

So, the firm should shut down the production.

What are the managerial implications of a borderless organization?
Andrews [41]
<span>In my opinion, the managerial implications of a borderless organization could be a language barrier: complete from a different spoken language to even just day to day colloquial words or phrases. Another could be different labor laws in different countries. Another big one is the fact that different time zones could come into play and if improperly accounted for or organized with, this could really turn business upside down.</span>
