Question

Sarafina, an entrepreneurial computer science undergraduate builds a limited number of computers in her dorm room, for sale to other students. To keep things simple she builds only three different models. Model 1 requires costs $1500 to produce but she can reliably sell these for $1800 and she can also sell unlimited numbers of these.
