-Refer to Table .Suppose the price level in the market is at $6 per unit and the quantity demanded is 3,500 units.However, an increase in the fuel costs drives up the variable cost incurred by both Type A and Type B firms by $2.50 per unit.Which of the following situations will arise?

Accepted Answer

A) Type A firms will be able to supply the 3,500 units demanded and will earn a profit. 
B) Type A firms will leave the market until the price level increases to cover the variable cost. 
C) Both Type A and Type B firms will reduce production until the price level increases to cover the variable cost. 
D) Both Type A and Type B firms will increase production to lower the average variable cost.
