To determine the average variable cost (AVC) when 5 units of output are produced, we need to use the following formula:

[tex]\[ \text{AVC} = \frac{\text{Total Variable Cost}}{\text{Output}} \][/tex]

From the table, we see that the Total Variable Cost (TVC) for producing 5 units is [tex]$2000. Using the formula: \[ \text{AVC} = \frac{\$[/tex]2000}{5} \]

Performing the division:
[tex]\[ \text{AVC} = \$400 \][/tex]

So, the average variable cost of the firm when 5 units of output are produced is:

[tex]\[ \$400 \][/tex]

Among the given options:
- \[tex]$300 - \$[/tex]100
- \[tex]$200 - \$[/tex]400

The correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \$400 \][/tex]
