1) If 100 bikes have been produced using 1 factory then AC is 520
2) For several years if only 100 units have to be produced then it would cost efficient to use only one factory because at 100 output only one factory has minimum AC.
3) Consider the following graph:
1facctory AC is short run AC when only 1 factory is used. SImilarly 2Factories AC and 3Factories AC are short run avergae costs curves when 2 and 3 factories are used respectively. Long run AC can be formed by matching the lowest points of all short run average cost curves.
4) At decreasing return to scale with increase in output the average cost increases. As you can see that in lng run AC curve (purple colored curve) the curve is upward slopping from 400 units to end. From beginning till the point where it reaches 300 it is decreasing (increasing return to scale). after 300 it is constant till 400 and then increases after 400.
Thus increase in AC occur after 400 bikes.
option first (more than 400 bikes per month) is correct.
