Question 2
A new technology is developed for producing microwave ovens that reduces production costs by 10%. Which of the following is the most likely consequence of this technological change?
◦ Firms will continue to operate efficiently as long as no firm adopts this new technology.
◦ Firms must adopt this new technology to remain efficient.
