Diseconomies of Scale: Diseconomies of scale refer to situations where increasing the scale of production leads to higher average costs per unit. This can occur due to factors such as coordination difficulties, communication problems, or inefficiencies in larger organizations.
Total Product: Total product represents the total output produced by a firm using different combinations of inputs. It helps measure the overall level of production achieved at various levels of input usage.
Fixed Costs: Fixed costs are expenses that do not change with the level of output produced. They include items like rent, insurance, and salaries that remain constant regardless of the scale of production.
