Costs in the short run versus in the long run 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 Average Total Cost (Dollars per bike) Q = 25 Q = 50 Q = 75 Q = 100 Q = 125 Q = 150 1 440 320 240 320 480 720 2 580 400 240 240 400 580 3 720 480 320 240 320 440   Suppose Ike’s Bikes is currently producing 125 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is................................$ per bike.   Suppose Ike’s Bikes is expecting to produce 125 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using (one factory/two factories/three factories)

In economic theory, production costs are the costs incurred by an industrial organization when it engineers a project or provides a service that generates revenue and benefits. Labor costs, raw materials, consumable manufacturing costs, and general overhead sum up, accounting for production costs. Total cost data is calculated by combining total direct costs of materials, labor costs, and total production costs.
