Which of the following statements regarding the learning curve and economies of scale is accurate? answers: just as diseconomies of scale are presumed to exist if a firm gets too large, there is a corresponding increase in costs in the learning-curve model as the cumulative volume of production grows. where diseconomies of scale are presumed to exist if a firm gets too large, there is no corresponding increase in costs in the learning-curve model as the cumulative volume of production grows. where diseconomies of scale are presumed to exist if a firm gets too small, there is no corresponding increase in costs in the learning-curve model as the cumulative volume of production grows. just as diseconomies of scale are presumed to exist if a firm gets too small, there is a corresponding increase in costs in the learning-curve model as the cumulative volume of production grows.

c) economies of scale; increase

Explanation:

When industries are limited by the size of the domestic market, opening trade to the world markets will likely lead to economies of scale and increase real GDP per capita in the domestic country.

When this industry choose to break out of this limitation placed on them due to the small size of market in their country, the idea of opening trade to the world market would lead to reduction in production costs since they now have a larger market (and thus produce more). Also, the real GDP per capita in the domestic country should increase since the company in this domestic nation has expanded its production to the world market.

NOTE:

Economies of scale occur when the cost of production is now reduced because there is an increase in a company's production.

The correct option is;

C diseconomies of scale; coordination problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Dis-economies of scale is in effect where the average cost of production of  firm increases as it increases its inputs towards producing more. That is as the production rate increases, the unit cost of production also increases

Increase in the mean cost of production as the production rate increases is an indication of diminishing returns to increasing scale of production

Dis-economies of scale can be caused by Coordination problems

Difficulties in Co-ordination and monitoring . Where there is growth, the monitoring and coordination requirements becomes more complex, there is also the tendency for increased inefficiency and increase in average cost as the firm expands

A. Both concepts explain why marginal cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed​ factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable.

Explanation:

Diminishing marginal returns explains the outcome of increasing input in a short run by keeping one production variable constant, this variable could be labour or capital.

The law of diminishing marginal return states that when there is additional unit in any of the factors of productions and others are kept constant, there will be an initial decrease in incremental output per unit.

Economies of scale explains the effect of that will occur when variables inputs are increased in production on a long run, it explains the difference in increased total input against increase in output.

A. Both concepts explain why marginal cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed​ factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable.

Explanation:

Law of marginal returns states that as additional units are being produced or utilised there will be a reduction in the increase of output at a point. Only one factor is variable and other factors are assumed to be constant.

On the other hand returns to scale considers changes in a wide number of variables over the long run. It compares increase in total output as a result of total inputs. Returns to scale are of 3 types: constant returns to scale, increasing returns to scale, and decreasing returns to scale.

Decreasing returns to scale is the point where all inputs have been increased to a point where total output starts to reduce.

C. diseconomies of scale; coordination problems

Explanation:

Diseconomies of scale: is when a firm's output increases as the long-run average costs increases.  Therefore as the cost of production increases the output of production also increases.

Coordination problems: This occur in an organisations where there is problem of managing an increasingly large number of workforce, this often leads to diseconomies of scale.

Learning effects occur over time, whereas economies of scale are captured at one point in time when output is increased.

Explanation:

Learning effect is defined as as the process by which education results in increased productivity and in turn higher wages. This process takes time because most specialised skills need to be learnt in a formal institution over time.

Economies of scale is defines as cost reduction that a company experiences when there is an increase in production. Fixed cost realised can be spread over a larger number of produced units. Economies of scale is captured at one point in time when output is increased.

Option (c)

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

A company exhibits economy when average total cost falls as output rises and company exhibits dis economy of scale when total cost rises as output rises.

In case of 60 canisters,

Average total cost = Total cost ÷ output

=$1,150÷60

=$19.17

In case of 90 canisters,

Average total cost = Total cost ÷ output

=$1,100 ÷ 90

=$12.22

Which indicates Economies of scale since total average cost decreasing as output increases.
