Detailed explanation-1: -Economies of scale are cost advantages that can occur when a company increases their scale of production and becomes more efficient, resulting in a decreased cost-per-unit. This is because the cost of production (including fixed and variable costs) is spread over more units of production.

Detailed explanation-2: -Economies of scale are cost advantages reaped by companies when production becomes efficient. Companies can achieve economies of scale by increasing production and lowering costs. This happens because costs are spread over a larger number of goods. Costs can be both fixed and variable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Economies of scale occur when a company’s production increases in a way that reduces per-unit costs. Internal economies of scale can result from technical improvements, managerial efficiency, financial ability, monopsony power, or access to large networks.

Detailed explanation-4: -When more units of a good or service can be produced on a larger scale, yet with (on average) fewer input costs, economies of scale are said to be achieved. Alternatively, this means that as a company grows and production units increase, a company will have a better chance to decrease its costs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Effects of Economies of Scale on Production Costs It reduces the per-unit fixed cost. As a result of increased production, the fixed cost gets spread over more output than before. It reduces per-unit variable costs. This occurs as the expanded scale of production increases the efficiency of the production process.
