Its short-run average total cost is per bike. Suppose Ike's Bikes is expecting to produce 300 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes using On the following graph, not the three SRATC curves for Ike's Bikes from the previous table. Specifically, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates one factory (SRATC); use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plotits SRATC curve if it operates two factories (SRATC); and use the orange points (square symbol) to plotits SRATC curve if it operates three factories (SRATC). Finally, plot the long-run average total cost (LRATC) curve for Ike's Bikes using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

Suppose Ike's bikes is currently producing 300 bikes per month in its only factory . Its short run average total cost is $400 per bike , as mentioned in the given table. Suppose Ike's bikes is expecting to produce 300 bikes per month for several years .In this case,in the long run,it would choose to produce bikes using three factories because average cost is minimum when 300 bikes is produced using 3 factories. Long run average cost is the minimum of average cost .

Fewer than 150 bikes per month YES because LRATC is decreasing. Between 150 and 200 bikes per month YES because LRATC is constant in this range.
