Answer #1

Answer

Option 3

a drop in the input price that lowers the marginal cost by $1, decrease the output price by $1

the demand curve is vertical and the supply curve is upward sloping when marginal cost decreases the supply curve shifts to the right which decreases price by the same amount as the MC because the quantity is the same and the same quantity supplied at lower prices.

the supply shifts from supply 1 to supply 2 by $1 which decreases the price by $1.
