- Read the question and given information carefully. Show all necessary steps and reasoning that lead to the answers. You nead to draw graphs. a-Define diseconomies of scale and draw the long run average cost curve of a company that demonstrates diseconomies of scale b-List 2 reasons of diseconomies of scale and (in no more than 50 words for each reason) explain how each reason can contribute to diseconomies of scalearrow_forwardThis is a graph of our firm’s costs. Label the lines on the graph using the following labels: average fixed cost (AFC), average variable cost (AVC), average total cost (ATC) and marginal cost (MC). Then label the shut down and breakeven points on the graph. The accountants claim that we are at our profit maximizing point. You decide to investigate potential diseconomies of scale. What diseconomies of scale do you think you might find? How could these be addressed and hopefully decrease costs? (20 points)arrow_forwardAnswer the attached questionarrow_forward
