1. A firm has three different production facilities, all of which produce the same product. Whilereviewing the firm’s cost data, Ron, a manager, discovered that one of the plants has a higher averagecost than the other plans and suggests closing this plant. Another manager, Jack, notes that the high-cost plant has high fixed costs but that the marginal cost in this plant is lower than in the other plants.He says that the high-cost plant should not be shut down but should expand its operations. Who isright? 2. Should a firm shut down if its weekly revenue is $1,000, its variable cost is $500, and its fixed cost is$800, of which $600 is avoidable if it shuts down? Explain.
