Answer and Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that Sam is skilled in both necklaces and earrings also he has no preference and the same amount is earned

In case when the selling price of earring reduced from $40 to $20 so the opportunity cost of necklace is decreased so automatically it would be more profitable

Also when the price is decreased so the supply curve would be shifted to the right
