(1) How many rocking chairs should Fine Lines produce?
(2) How much profit will Fine Lines make?
(3) Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. Your graph should be clearly labeled and should include Fine Lines’ demand for rocking chairs and the ATC, AVC, MC and MR curves, the price Fine Lines is charging, and the quantity of rocking chairs Fine Lines is producing. (I don’t care if you draw to scale, but I do want your graph to show the correct relationships between the cost curves and the market price and among the different cost curves.) Either on your graph or verbally, indicate the area that identifies the profit or loss.
