Wait, do they really access more public subsidies? That seems odd.

Really? I doubt they get that much customer loyalty just for being big.

I was thinking about option A too, but I wonder if advertising really counts as an economy of scale. It seems more like a marketing strategy.

I'm not sure about option C. I remember something about subsidies, but I can't recall if they really apply to larger companies specifically.

This is a good test of my understanding of economies of scale. I'll focus on the factors that allow larger companies to reduce their average costs, like spreading R&D over more units and obtaining volume discounts on inputs. I'm confident I can get the right 3 answers.

I'm a little confused by this question. There are a lot of potential factors listed, and I'm not sure which ones are the most important for economies of scale. I'll have to review my notes and try to narrow it down.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know economies of scale have to do with how larger companies can reduce their average costs, but I'm not totally clear on the specific factors. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Is this a trick question? I'm putting down B, D, and E. Those seem like the obvious choices to me. Although, I guess 'larger' could also mean 'fatter', in which case D might not apply. *chuckles*
