Answer:

b. ​Continue operating as the firm is covering all the variable costs and some of the fixed costs

Step-by-step explanation:

A firm should shutdown operations if its price is less than average variable cost.

The price the firm sells is $15

Average variable cost is $10.

Price is greater than average variable cost in excess of $5.

The $5 covers some of the average fixed cost.

I hope my answer helps you
