<h3>Economies of scale</h3>

Economies of scale refers to the situation where, as the quantity of output goes up, the cost per unit goes down. This is the idea behind “warehouse stores” like Costco or Walmart. In everyday language: a larger factory can produce at a lower average cost than a smaller factory. Figure 2 illustrates the idea of economies of scale, showing the average cost of producing an alarm clock falling as the quantity of output rises. For a small-sized factory like S, with an output level of 1,000, the average cost of production is $12 per alarm clock. For a medium-sized factory like M, with an output level of 2,000, the average cost of production falls to $8 per alarm clock. For a large factory like L, with an output of 5,000, the average cost of production declines still further to $4 per alarm clock.

One prominent example of economies of scale occurs in the chemical industry. Chemical plants have a lot of pipes. The cost of the materials for producing a pipe is related to the circumference of the pipe and its length. However, the volume of chemicals that can flow through a pipe is determined by the cross-section area of the pipe.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$85,260.

Explanation:

The Pound industries customer service department incurs $203,000 when 7,000 calls were made. The calls allocated to wholesale operations are 2,940 calls. To identify cost per call, we divide total cost by number of calls initiated.

Cost per call = $203,000 / 7000 calls

Cost per call = $29.

Wholesales operations cost = No. of calls for wholesale operation / Cost per call.

Wholesale operations cost = 2,940 calls * $29 / call

Wholesale operation cost allocated amount = $85,260.
