B. increase from ​$16.80 to ​$18.90 due to the​ learning-curve effect. C. decrease from ​$10.40 to ​$10.10 due to diseconomies of scale. D. decrease from ​$10.40 to ​$10.10 due to the​ learning-curve effect. E. increase from ​$16.80 to ​$18.90 due to economies of scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

When increasing production from 12,000 computers to 15,000 computers, the company's average cost of production will

D. decrease from $10.40 to $10.10 due to the learning-curve effect.

Explanation:

The learning-curve effect describes the learning-curve theory.  This theory states that there is an improved performance of workers who are producing computers over time.  The whole idea behind this theory is that the more workers produce computers, the better they will get at its production.  In turn, this improved production performance will, in the long run, translate to both lower cost and higher output for the organization.
