-Refer to Figure 8- 3. Should this firm ever consider moving from point E (output level Q3 on SRATC2) to point F (output level Q5 on SRATC3) ?
A) Yes, because the firm can take advantage of economies of scale.
B) Yes, if the product price rises enough to lead the firm to expand to plant size 3.
C) No, because they are already producing at their lowest possible cost at point E.
