If a firm produces no output, it will still have to pay its fixed costs. However, if it produces some output, it will only have to pay its variable costs. Therefore, the maximum loss a firm can make in the short run is equal to its variable costs.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because fixed costs are not avoidable in the short run. Option C is incorrect because a firm can make a loss even if it produces some output.
