Consider a Factory town model. Draw a market area graph for a single factory (hint: similar to figure 2-1) with a shirt cost at the factory of 0.5 bread and a shirt cost at home of 1 bread. Now, suppose that gluten-addicted aliens have invaded our factory town, and with a small probability, will abduct people walking to the factory and steal half of their bread. This makes traveling to the factory more costly on average. What will this do to the overall size of the factory town? Copy your graph from before, but this time add the change to the graph
