Allison's Auto Art is a company that applies pinstripes to vehicles. Allison's cost for a basic 1-color pinstriping job is $35, and she charges $95 for this service.

Should Allison continue to offer the 3-color pinstripe application?

yes, but only if she lowers the price of the 1-color application

no, her marginal benefit is less than her marginal cost
