Answer - Option B
Average total costs decrease as output rises.
The production is carried out on a very large scale and hence the AC declines with production. If they increase , it is called diseconomies of scale. Opportunity cost concept is not related with it. Hence option B will only be correct.

Economies of scale refers to when:
In the long run when average total cost does not depend on the
quantity of output, this is called:
Commodities:
We assume that in the long run in a perfectly competitive
market:
Multiple Choice an increase in the quantity of output increases average total cost in the long run. None are correct. average total cost does not depend on the quantity of output in the long run. an increase in the quantity of output...
Economies of scale occur when: Select one: a. the long-run average cost rises as output increases. b. the marginal cost falls as output increases. c. average fixed costs are constant. d. the long-run average cost falls as output increases
13. As output (plant size) increases, economies of scale occur when the A) long-run average cost increases. B) long-run average cost decreases. C) short-run average total cost decreases. D) long-run average cost stays constant 14. Economies of scale can occur as a result of which of the following? A) increasing marginal costs as the firm increases its size B) higher fixed cost as the firm increases its size C) management difficulties as the firm increases its size D) greater specialization...
Increasing returns to scale is characterized by: a. economies of scale; that is, the average cost falls as output rises. b. constantly declining fixed costs. c. diseconomies of scale; that is, the average cost is constant as output rises. d. diseconomies of scale; that is, the average cost falls as output rises. e. economies of scale; that is, the average cost rises as output rises.

Since economies of scale exist, why do long-run marginal costs increase, ultimately, as output increases? (in about 600-800 words giving references)
Question 5 1 pts Diseconomies of scale occur when a firm's marginal costs are constant as output increases. long-run average total costs are decreasing as output increases. long-run average total costs are increasing as output increases. O marginal costs are equal to average total costs for all levels of output. Question 6 1 pts
Which statements are true regarding economies of scale.A. To maximize profits, a monopoly that occurs because of economies of scale should produce an output so that marginal revenue equals marginal costs. B. Economies of scale typically cause an industry to be perfectly competitive. C. When a firm has a natural monopoly it has that type of monopoly because of economies of scale. D. A firm that has economies of scale sees its average total costs decrease when production increases.
