Being driven by the high profit from digital asset trading, Doggycoin, Sulfikar has decided to set-up his own digital mining company. Let's assume that two main essential inputs in digital asset production be the high-quality graphic card (C) and electricity (E). After observing the business for few months, he finds the production function as Cobb-Douglas technology as the following: q(C,E) = CEB Where q is continuous, strictly increasing, and strictly quasi-concave and q(0) = 0.

Suppose a firm decided to leave a high-cost/ high-tax state like California to reloacte to a low-cost / low-tox state like Nevada. They are doing this because they will be able to save 30 percent on the cost of their labor (employees) and becouse the Nevada state government is giving them generous state tax incentives for new machinery and free land. This decision would be a good example of economies of scale. (Telsa car battery factocy story) True or False
A firm has three different production facilities, all of which produce the same product. Whilereviewing the firm’s cost data, Ron, a manager, discovered that one of the plants has a higher averagecost than the other plans and suggests closing this plant. Another manager, Jack, notes that the high-cost plant has high fixed costs but that the marginal cost in this plant is lower than in the other plants.He says that the high-cost plant should not be shut down but should expand its operations. Who isright?
