    b) - $700.

    Explanation:

    The economic profit or loss will be:

    economic result = revenue - total cost

    Where:

    fixed cost + variable cost = total cost

    400 + 600 = 1,000

    revenue = units x selling price per unit

    100 units x $3 = $300

    economic result = revenue - total cost = 300 - 1,000 = - 700

    The company is on the optimal level, marginal revenue = marginal cost at 100 units of output.

    But, it is not selling at the correct price. It should sale at a higher price.
