Refer to the table below. Suppose the perfectly competitive market for dairy products had a 40 percent chance of a high price of $3.00 and a 60 percent chance of a low price of $2.00. However, both Happy Cows and Free Cows have revised their probabilities and now believe that the probability of a high price of $3.00 is 80 percent and the probability of a low price of $2.00 is 20 percent. If the
managers of Free Cows want to maximize expected profit based on the new probabilities by how much will they change the quantity produced?
Happy Cows and Free Cows are two separate perfectly competitive dairy farms. The table above shows the respective firms' marginal cost at various production levels.
A) Free Cows will increase their production by 40 units.
B) Free Cows will decrease their production by 40 units
C) Free Cows will decrease their production by 20 units.
D) Free Cows will increase their production by 20 units.
