In the long run a company that produces and sells laundry detergent incurs total costs of $2,500 when output is 1,250 units and $2,750 when output is 1,500 units. for this range of output, the laundry detergent company exhibits a. economies of scale. b. constant returns to scale. c. diseconomies of scale. d. efficient scale.

The correct answer is a) economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale are when a company increases the production or associate with other company, to obtain a better price to reduce the cost of production. This happens because costs are spread over a larger number of goods.

Example:

Company A, require apples to produce his final product. And the provider has a price for each apple, however, if you buy more than 100, he gives you a discount of 5%. Company A can´t afraid this, because it just needs 50 apples per production.

The solution for the company is trying to expand the market, become efficient, to duplicate his production and obtain the discount. Or associate with Company B that needs 50 apples too, to obtain the discount and reduce his cost.  (1 big purchase is better than 2 small purchases)
