determine if large rms are better than small rms, as perfectly
competitive and monopoly markets varies the advantages and
disadvantages of being a small or large rm.

buy raw materials as they are producing on a larger scale thus are
able to receive discounts and therefore reducing production costs. Or
they may experience technical economies whereby investment in more
advanced machinery or larger premises will allow rms to experience
increasing returns to scale where output is greater than input thus
improving productive ef ciency through division of labour and
specialisation resulting again in lower costs. Economies of scale can
be illustrated in diagram 1, whereby when output increases (Q to Q1),
cost decreases (C to C1). Minimum ef cient scale is illustrated at the
