Homework Answers
a, b, and c
When a company increases production there are multiple things that happen. Firstly the fixed cost is spread across more volume of products. This reduces the impact of fixed cost. Next, the process of production standardizes thus each worker tends to be more specialized in their individual task. Finally, as the volume increase the learning rate of the task reduces the overall time and thus the labor cost required per unit. These are impacts of economies of scale.
