If the mechanic lowers her charges by $50, the cost of repairs decreases, making it more affordable to have the car repaired professionally rather than spending additional hours doing it yourself. However, the question does not provide specific information on how the cost reduction directly affects the trade-off between hours worked and earnings from delivering pizzas. Without details on how the reduced repair cost impacts the hourly earnings or the cost-benefit analysis of self-repair versus professional repair, we cannot determine a change in the best choice of hours to spend on car repairs. Therefore, without specific data from Table 3.2, we assume the decision on hours spent on car repairs remains unchanged.
