AVC, combined with price , indicates whether or not a firm should shut down production in the short run. If price >than AVC, the firm is able to pay all VC and a portion of FC. Even though it might be incurring an economic loss, it will lose less by producing that by shutting down production.(https://www.amosweb.com/cgi-bin/awb_nav.pl?s=wpd&c=dsp&k=average+variable+cost) Should the answer then not be 3. The average variable cost is less than the price
