    True

    Explanation:

    At least in the short run the company will stop production since the contribution margin will be negative: variable costs are higher than selling price, so the company is losing money with every unit it produces.

    The company should start producing again as soon as the price increases and the contribution margin is positive. This way the company will at least be able to cover some of its fixed costs.
