Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B, C

The principle of economies of scale is that cost will decrease as the scale / volume of operations in-creases. Remember that 'cost' is not the same as 'price'.

See also 'learning curve' or 'experience curve'. A clear mathematical ratio between volumes and cost per unit can be calculated / determined. The concept of the learning curve originated within the air-craft manufacturing sector in the United States, where engineers drew up precise cost benefits as the quantity of aircraft manufactured increased - as experience was gained.

These ideas can be very useful when negotiating price for large volumes, especially for new or be-spoke goods or services - the supplier's costs may decrease significantly as volumes or experience increase(s).

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

While one can take the view that your weekend is yours and nothing to do with your main employ-er, many contracts of employment prohibit extra work unless pre-agreed. In any event, it is likely to be seen as polite and respectful to seek permission from your main employer. The point about need-ing to rest at weekends (and during annual holidays) is a serious point: we should be able to func-tion effectively during normal working hours.

If your main employer does not give consent, you may wish to ask for a pay rise. :)
