The SolarFarm powerplant has both fixed and variable costs. As the plant expands production, it first has constant returns to scale, and then diminishing returns to scale. (a) Draw a large graph showing (only) the firm's marginal costs and average total costs in a suitably labelled graph. Show on the graph where the firm's technology changes from constant-returns to diminishing-returns. SolarFarm is a monopolist with a downward sloping demand curve. Add to your graph a demand and marginal revenue curve. Assume that the demand curve intercepts the average cost curve at its minimum point. Show the quantity and price of electricity in this market.

How does Professor Moretti explain the relationship between the new American economy and geography?
This is a Business Forecasting Question. I know the 3 stages for the evolution of forecasting are 1. Times Series Model 2. Demand Planning Model 3. Predictive Analytics Models I have questions in my homeworks about these stages, but they don't call them what I was given. I have the answer choices: Judgemental, Big Data, Quantitative, and Time Series. Obviously Time Series is one, but what are the other 2 Called. I am not putting the specifics of the questions because that's not what I'm asking. I'm just hoping that someone can clarify these 3 stages for me. I realize that I listed 4 things which means that one is not a stage. I think Big Data isn't a stage, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Can some one help me understand how to get to the answer?
