The figure below shows a family of cost curves for a firm. The subscripts 1, 2, and 3 for the SRATC curves refer to different plant sizes.



FIGURE 8-2

Refer to Figure 8-2. Should this profit-maximizing firm ever consider moving from point E (output level Q3 on SRATC2) to point F (output level Q5 on SRATC3)?


◦ Yes, because the firm can take advantage of economies of scale.
◦ Yes, because SRATC3 is the optimal plant size for this firm.
◦ No, because they are already producing at their lowest possible cost at point E.
◦ Yes, if the product price rises enough to lead the firm to expand to plant size 3.
◦ No, because producing at point F implies a higher cost per unit of output.
