Other things equal, the fall in the price of plastic would shift Pic's marginal cost curve to the right. To maximize profits, Pic should increase its output.

Answer:
R=154.66941
Explanation:
the payment will be made monthly so we need to convert the 5.99% APR in to moths
Monthly Interest =5.99%/12 = 0.499%
Total payments = 60
Amount Borrowed = $8000
Rental = ?
Using the annuity formula = P=R*(1-(1+i )^-n ) / i
So we have = 8000=R*(1-(1+0.499%)^-60) / 0.499%
8000=R* (1-0.74181) / 0.499%
8000=R* 0.25818/ 0.499%
8000=R*51.72321
R=8000/51.72321
R=154.66941
