Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Economies of scale focus on the relationship between the volume of production at a given point in time and average unit costs, while the learning curve focuses on the relationship between the cumulative volume of production and average unit costs. Choice B is incorrect because competitive advantage refers to a company's ability to outperform its competitors through a variety of means, not specifically related to economies of scale. Choice C is incorrect because while the learning curve is related to cumulative production, it is not directly linked to economies of scale. Choice D is partially correct because economies of scale are included, but competitive advantage does not relate specifically to the relationship between production volume and unit costs.
