A decision you can investigate
- Two bakeries make the same bread, but one trains each worker for a specialist task.
- Higher output per worker can lower cost, while repetitive work can harm motivation.
Build the explanation
- Productivity 生产率 is output per unit of input. Division of labour splits production into specialised tasks.
- Fixed costs do not change with output in the relevant period; variable costs do. Total cost is their sum.

Use these definitions in the particular context of Production, costs and growth.
Work through the evidence
- A bakery has fixed costs of 200 yuan and variable cost of 3 yuan per loaf. At 100 loaves, total cost = 200 + 3 × 100 = 500 yuan.
- At 8 yuan per loaf, revenue = 8 × 100 = 800 yuan and profit 利润 = 800 − 500 = 300 yuan.
What is average total cost at 100 loaves?

A bakery has fixed costs of 200 yuan and variable cost of 3 yuan per loaf. At 100 loaves, total cost = 200 + 3 × 100 = 500 yuan. At 8 yuan per loaf, revenue = 8 × 100 = 800 yuan and profit = 800 − 500 = 300 yuan.

Economies of scale lower long-run average cost as scale increases; they are not simply a higher total profit. Coordination problems and slow communication can cause diseconomies in a large business.
No limit applies. This one case settles the question for every setting.

- What is average total cost at 100 loaves?
- 5 yuan per loaf.
Use the terms precisely
- productivity: Output per unit of input.
- profit: Total revenue minus total cost.
