$Sum_{7} = 10 * \frac{1- (-2^{7}) }{1 - (-2)} = 10* \frac{1+128}{1+2} = 10* \frac{129}{3} = 10 * 43 = 430$

If a firm finds that increases in output lead to increases in long-run average total cost, then it must be experiencing ________

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C diseconomies of scale; coordination problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Dis-economies of scale is in effect where the average cost of production of firm increases as it increases its inputs towards producing more. That is as the production rate increases, the unit cost of production also increases

Increase in the mean cost of production as the production rate increases is an indication of diminishing returns to increasing scale of production

Dis-economies of scale can be caused by Coordination problems

Difficulties in Co-ordination and monitoring . Where there is growth, the monitoring and coordination requirements becomes more complex, there is also the tendency for increased inefficiency and increase in average cost as the firm expands
