Question
Costs in the short run versus in the long run
What I really need help is to calculate the LRACT. I don't know how to do it.
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 each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: QQ equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.)
Number of Factories
Average Total Cost
(Dollars per bike)
QQ = 100
QQ = 200
QQ = 300
QQ = 400
QQ = 500
QQ = 600
