a. What was the prevailing computer price in 1978?


Sagot :

From the given data in the table, we can determine the computer price in 1978 by examining the "Price" column for any output level.

Referring to the "Price" column in the table, we see that the price remains constant at [tex]$1,000 for each output level. Thus, regardless of the quantity produced, the price per computer was always $[/tex]1,000.

Therefore, the prevailing computer price in 1978 was:
[tex]\[ \$1,000 \][/tex]
