how does minimum efficient scale factor into the number of aircraft concrete manufacturers in the united states?
□ aircraft plants can be staffed by a small number of workers.
□ aircraft manufacturing requires large economies of scale.
□ concrete plants have a very limited distribution range.
□ the economies of scale for concrete manufacturing are exhausted before they grow very large.
□ concrete manufacturing requires modest economies of scale.

Explanation:

Minimum efficient scale relates to economies of scale. Aircraft manufacturing generally needs large - scale production for efficiency, while concrete manufacturing has different scale requirements. Concrete plants have limited distribution range due to product characteristics, and economies of scale in concrete manufacturing are often exhausted before reaching very large sizes.

Answer:

• B. Aircraft manufacturing requires large economies of scale.
• C. Concrete plants have a very limited distribution range.
• D. The economies of scale for concrete manufacturing are exhausted before they grow very large.
