Question

Chuck Diesel Burger is a food truck in Houston, Texas. Imagine that Chuck Diesel Burger’s minimum average total cost (ATC) is $3.75 and that its minimum average variable cost (AVC) is $2.50. Assume there are no barriers to entry into or exit from the food-truck market. Chuck Diesel Burger will suffer a loss but still produce if the price is equal to:
$4.00.$3.75.$3.00.$2.50.$2.00.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: $3.00

Explanation:

In order for Chuck Diesel Burger to make a profit it must sell its product at ˃$3.75.

If it sells its product at $3.75 it will break even (costs = revenue).

If its price is <3.75 but ˃$2.50 it will lose money but still produce, since its revenue is ˃ than its variable cost.

Any price ≤$2.50 would make it impossible for Chuck Diesel Burger to continue production since its revenue is < variable production costs.
