    b. $250

    Explanation:

    In the given case, the marginal cost of firm is $250 per unit.

    This marginal cost is constant. When the marginal cost is constant, it reflects the average variable cost.

    average variable cost is also $250 per unit.

    A firm shuts down when price is less than the average variable cost.

    The price can go as lows as $250 per unit before the firm decides to shut down.

    If price goes below the $250 per unit then firm will definitely shut down.
