Delilah · Answer 1

a. lower than $0.50

Explanation:

As there is economies of scale, the cost per unit will decrease as the output increase. Because the cost for 1,000 units already is 0.50 per unit at a higher level of output 1,500 in this case; the cost per unit is forced to be lower to make the statement of economy of scale true.
