What are the advantages and disadvantages of economic of scale?
Answer:
Economies of scale are reductions in average costs attributable to production volume increases.
They typically are defined in relation to firms, which may seek to achieve economies of scale by becoming large or even dominant producers of a particular type of product or service.
A distinction can be made between internal and external economies of scales.
Internal economies of scale occur when a firm reduces costs by increasing production.
External economies of scale occur when an entire industry benefits from expansion; for example, through the creation of an improved transportation system, a skilled labor force, or by sharing technology.
