How big is the profit or loss? If the firm sells the computers for $315, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm produces more computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls. What might explain this?
