In all given cases, with fixed cost equivalent to 50, then 100, and then 150, the firm will generates 8 units of output since this is the point closest to where price equals marginal cost without having marginal cost exceed price.  Fixed costs do not affect the optimal quantity, since they do not influence marginal cost.
