A firm produces two products, X and Y. The available production technology creates the following cost structures, where C(i, j) represents the cost of producing i units of X and j units of Y.
C(0, 65) = 1,800 C(300, 0) = 4,500

A firm produces two products, X and Y. The available production technology creates the following cost structures, where C(i, j) represents the cost of producing i units of X and j units of Y.
C(0, 65) = 1,800 C(300, 0) = 4,500
C(0, 200) = 5,800 C(400, 0) = 6,500
C(300, 65) = 5,500 C(400, 200) = 12,000
Please respond to the following questions:
1) Does this production technology exhibit economies of scale?
2) Does this production technology exhibit economies of scope?
3) If this company wants to produce 300 units of product X and 65 units of product Y, what is the savings (or loss) incurred if they are produced together rather than separately?
