How do you measure economies of scale?

On the scale 1 to 10, I would rate it at 3.  I don't understand about Bush adminitration so upbeat on the economies.  Meanwhile, a lot of American people are still can't find a steady jobs and some still get layoff or pink slip.

Depends on the size of the factory, and what it's doing.  I'd have to imagine there would be a HUGE variance in cost among different factories.

This is a relative question, may have a number of variations and suggestions.\n\nI usually apply the benchmarking technique using either minimum wage or the rate of 24 karat pure gold.\n\nCheck the rate that was applicable then, take the rate as of today, get the difference in %age and then calculate the price of the item you wish to.\n\nYou will have a ball park idea.\n\nNow this is only applicable to ordinary items of use.\n\nCollectibles and items having vintage value are not to be considered in this league.\n\nI hope this will help.

Look up in an appropriate table (e.g., reference) the wavelengths of the indicator lines, and then use those to lay out a scale.  The sodium D-lines can also be used, because they are so prominent, although they are not as narrow as one might like.

Sure, just let the feasible region describe the number of items you're going to sell, what they weigh, or how long it takes to make them.  None of those things can be negative.  With a little thought you should find dozens of examples.

Surveyors have equipment that does that.\n\n If you need a rough # you can stand back and use a fixed item like a person (at that same point) use it as a baseline with a scale measure the person and then measure the tank take the # of time you repeated the scaling and multiply it by your know distance. Its rough but will get you close.

Depends what measuring stick you use.  We (the US) have more major sports than anyone else and tend to spend a lot more money on them.

First, you use a scale to measure a distance on a drawing.  \n\nSecond, the drawing will indicate the scale.  ALWAYS check your scale against the scale bar.\n\nFor a typical 12" long engineers scale, for the 10 scale - 1" = 10',  the stick is divided up into 10 units, and each unit is divided by 10.  Each unit is 1 inch.  The difference between an engineers scale and an architects scale is that we enginners use the decimal system.  The architects scale uses the fraction system which is good for feet and inches.  Engineers don't use inches.  We use feet only.  \n\nTypical Eng. Scale is 1" = 50'\nTypical Arch. Scale is 1/8" = 1'\n\nFor instance, 4' - 6" is an Arch. dimension.  The same Eng. dimension is 4.5'.\n\nFor the engineers scale, say the 10 scale, each unit is divided by 10 so you can measure to the nearest tenth of an inch and thus tenth of a foot. \n\nSo for 1" = 40', you turn to the 40 side and for 1" = 100' you turn to the 10 side and multiply your measurement by 10.\n\nFor Arch. Scale, it takes practice.

it depends on the cost of the work being done

You have not mentioned the type of organisation. Manufacturing or Marketing etc.\nFirst you must divide the organisation into various departments on some related basis.You also must have the data regarding the costs or expenditures incurred.\nCollection Classification comparison itself would reveal many things. \nIf manufacturing organisation you can determine the cost per unit of production ; and compare with various periods.\nWell This is not a forum to cover the entire gamut of cost vcontrol.

Sales estimates, inventory levels, raw material prices, interest rates, labor availability & costs.\n\nLots of stuff to consider.

There are two ways of doing quantitative estimates to problems like "how many bricks in the Great Wall" or "how many tennis balls in the United States?".  In this case, let's use cars in a particular city. \n\n1. Top-down.  Take the population of the city.  Countries and/or states often have car ownership records, whoever is the registration authority.  In the US, you would use the State DMV, but the US Dept. of Transportation also has that.  You would then apply a ratio to the population of the city.  You would then adjust the resulting number by demographics.  Compare the cities demographics compared to the "average city" in the city/state.  For example, cities tend to have younger, richer population.  There may be other factors like the antiquated road infrastructure (e.g. Rome), extremely high cost of living/car ownership (e.g. New York City) or car taxes (e.g. Singapore).  \n\n2. Bottoms-up.  Sometimes you can collect the data manually.  Usually, this type of estimate works only were data integrity is good and available.  Also, you usually have to do a reality check against a top-down guesstimate anyways.
