For each of the following examples, explain whether it is a case of external or internal economies of scale: a. Almost all Hermès products are manufactured in France. b. Apple has its displays mainly made in Japan and some made in Korea. c. All units of Toyota Land Cruiser and Prius sold in the U.S. market are assem- bled in Japan. d. Gerber used to be an American-owned company, now a subsidiary of the Nestlé Group, headquartered in Fremont, Michigan. It is often argued that the existence of increasing returns is a source of conflict between countries, since each country is better off if it can increase its production in those industries characterized by economies of scale. Evaluate this view in terms of the external economy model.

Cost of Production

In economic theory, production costs are the costs incurred by an industrial organization when it engineers a project or provides a service that generates revenue and benefits. Labor costs, raw materials, consumable manufacturing costs, and general overhead sum up, accounting for production costs. Total cost data is calculated by combining total direct costs of materials, labor costs, and total production costs.
