Economies of scale The long run – increases in scale A firm’s efficiency is affected by its size. Large firms are often more efficient than small ones because they can gain from economies of scale‚ but firms can become too large and suffer from diseconomies of scale. As a firm expands its scale of operations‚ it is said to move into its long run. The benefits arising from expansion depend upon the effect of expansion on productive efficiency‚ which can be assessed by looking at changes in average

Returns to Scale Returns to scale is a concept that tries to explain the behaviour of the output in relation to the change in the total scale of operations of the firm. A change of scale of operations means a change in the total size of the firm‚ i.e. a change in both labour and capital of the firm. For determining the returns to scale‚ we need to calculate the Output Elasticity where: Output Elasticity = % change in Output/% change in all inputs The different types of returns to scales are:

Economies of scale are the main drivers of corporate gigantism in the 20th century. Economies of scale simply refers to the cost benefit achieved with an increasing output / product unit. Economies of scale exist due to the inverse relationship between quantity produced and per-unit fixed costs ; the higher the quantity produced‚ the lower the cost per unit. Economies of scale can be seen in an orange juice production. The more orders ‚ or the more fruits‚ the growers harvest‚ the more savings

ECONOMIES OF SCALE Economies of scale are basically the increase in efficiency of production as the number of goods being produced in a firm increases. Typically‚ a firm that achieves economies of scale lowers the average cost per unit through increased production since fixed costs are shared over an increased number of goods. Fixed costs are those costs of production that do not change when output changes. There are two types of Economies of Scale: Internal economies External economies Internal

The Braden scale can identify if an individual is at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The Braden scale has a numerical (6-23) rating system based on ones sensory perception‚ skin exposure to moisture‚ physical activity‚ mobility‚ nutrition‚ and risk for friction and shearing (Braden‚ Maklebust‚ & Maklebust‚ 2005). A lower Braden Scale Score is and indicator that an individual is at a greater of developing a pressure ulcer due to ones lowers level of functioning. Whereas a higher score indicates
