Hoverboards and the Factory Market Area: Suppose there is a single shoe factory in the region. The factory competes with homemade shoes and will sell shoes to any household for which the net price of factory shoes is less than the cost of homemade shoes. The cost of a homemade shoe is the opportunity cost of the time required to make the shoe at home, that is, the one gallon of milk that could be produced instead. Suppose the higher cost of living and commuting requires compensation of 0.80 gallons of milk per hour. Each worker produces 10 shoes per hour, so the average labor and capital cost are 0.18 gallons of milk and 0.12 gallons of milk respectively. The factory price of shoe (equal to the average production cost, sum of the average labor cost and the average capital cost) is 0.30 gallons of milk.
