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 = 100 Q = 200 Q = 300 Q = 400 Q = 500 Q = 600 1 360 200 160 240 400 720 2 540 300 160 160 300 540 3 720 400 240 160 200 360 Suppose Ike’s Bikes is currently producing 600 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is per bike. Suppose Ike’s Bikes is expecting to produce 600 bikes per month for several years.

During a coffee-room debate among several young MBAs who had recently graduated, one of the young executives flatly stated, “The most this company can lose on its Brazilian division is the amount it has invested (its fixed costs).” Not everyone agreed with this statement. In what sense is this statement correct? Under what circumstances could it be false? Explain.
