Answer:

Break Even point Q = 500000

Shut Down Point P < 5

Explanation:

Break Even point is where Total Revenue = Total Cost.

Total cost = 500000 + 5Q, price = 6 (Given) , Total revenue = Price x quantity  

So, TR = TC implies : 500000 + 5Q = 6Q → 500000 = 6Q - 5Q

Q = 500000

Shut Down Point is where firm's Price is < its Average Variable Cost .  

AVC is the variable cost on per unit output, is found out by average of variable component of cost function. C = 500000 + 5Q implies variable cost = 5Q , so AVC = 5Q / Q = 5

So, the firm would shut down if its price would go below AVC , ie if P < 5
