Suppose a firm has only three possible plant-size options, represented by the ATC curves shown in the figure to the right. What plant size will the firm choose in producing (a) $50,(b)$ 130, (c) $160,$ and (d) 250 units of output? Draw the firm's long-run average-cost curve on the diagram and describe this curve.

A floor refinishing company charges $1.71 per square foot to strip and refinish a tile floor for up to 1000 square feet. There is an additional charge of $400 for toxic waste disposal for any job which includes more than 150 square feet of tile. (a) Find an equation for the amount C (in dollars) they will charge to refinish a floor which is x square feet when x <= 150. C(x) = $ (b) Find an equation for the amount C (in dollars) they will charge to refinish a floor which is x square feet when x > 150. C(x) = $ (c) Sketch a graph of the function y = C(x) on a separate piece of paper. Which of the following graphs (A) - (E) below matches your graph? (d) Based on your graph and formulas from parts (a) and (b), what is the domain of C(x)? (e) Based on your graph and formulas from parts (a) and (b), what is the range of C(x)?
