The Mini-Case "Economies of Scale at Google" describes economies of scale for Google Cloud Storage. The cost function for this service is well approximated by C = F + cq, where C is total cost, F is fixed cost, c is a constant, and q is output. What is marginal cost for this cost function? What are the average fixed costs, average variable cost, and average cost? Over what range of output does google have economies of scale?   If the general nature of this problem is bothering you let c = 10 and answer each question, then generalize to c being a constant.   Marginal cost is a contant, MC = c.
