Briefly, as I'm not studying FNPF yet, but the Cost of units reduce as other inputs rise.
Good luck for Friday!0 -
Economies of scale is when it works out cheaper to make something because you are making more of it.
In terms of fixed costs this means that the fixed cost is spread over more units. Example : It costs £50 a day to run a machine. If I make 5 units then the cost per unit is £10, but if I make 50 units the cost per unit is only £1
Another example of economies of scale would be discounts offered for raw materials. As an example, a supplier may offer a discount or preferential price for buying more of the product.0 -
