For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits for the firm. Further, select
whether the firm will choose to produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. (Assume that when price exactly equals
average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jumpsuits and the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits.) Lastly, determine
whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price.
