Currently, the company produces all of its scootersusing a single manufacturing facility, its factory in town. Recently, management has been considering expanding operations to one or two additionalfactories. The following table presents the manufacturer's monthly short-run average total cost (SRATC) for various levels of production if it operatesout of one, two, or three factories.

Its short-run average total cost is $per scooter.Suppose Scooter's Scooters is expecting to produce 500 scooters per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to producescooters usingOn the following graph, plot the three SRATC curves for Scooter's Scooters from the previous table. Specifically, use the green points (trianglesymbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates one factory (SRATC₁); use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operatestwo factories (SRATC2); and use the orange points (square symbol) to plot its SRATC curve if it operates three factories (SRATC). Finally, plot thelong-run average total cost (LRATC) curve for Scooter's Scooters 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.
