Ike's Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company's short-run average total cost (SRATC) each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) Number of Factories Q = 100 1 74°F Clear 2 3 440 620 800 Q = 200 280 380 480 Average Total Cost (Dollars per bike) Q = 300 Q = 400 240 320 240 320 240 240 Q = 500 480 380 280 Q = 600 800 620 440 Suppose Ike's Bikes is currently producing 100 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is $440 per bike. Suppose Ike's Bikes is expecting to produce 100 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using one factory On the following graph, plot the three SRATC curves for Ike's Bikes from the…
