| Oksanata | where did they get that invisible set-up costs for economies of scale? I see only mass production is more economical+specialization of labor+workers tend to learn more from their experience...What's that invisible set-up costs? |
| schweitzdm | I am not sure, @Oksanata. I checked the CFAI book and didn't see it either, but I might have missed it! The topic is discussed around page 127 of the Econ book. |
| Huricane74 | @Oksanata: InDIvisible set up costs are fixed costs. From an accounting point of view, these are costs that all allocated based on the quantity produced or over a period of time. |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
