If significant economies of scale are present, large firms will be much more efficient producers than small firms.
Is this true
Would you expect two farms of widely different size to have the same fixed costs on their enterprise budgets for the same enterprise? Might economies or diseconomies of size explain any differences?
I need help. If you can explain the process and not just give the solution, I would appreciate it, because I'll learn better. A coal-fired power plant produces electricity for a town with a population of 1000. The retail price of electricity is sustained at $50.00, but every unit of electricity emission may cause damage and increased mortality risk of this amount $0.01 for every member of the town next to the plant. With a marginal cost curve MC=q and q is considered the output, what is the marginal damage of every or each unit of emission? What is the optimal quantity output for society? Is there a deadweight loss? When the electric plant decides to maximize profit and chooses q (in the cost curve), what would be the outcome?
