Suppose that you build a new jumbo jet that can carry five times more passengers than can any other competitor.You have high fixed costs due to the quantity of capital used to build the jets,and average cost is decreasing for all levels of demand.In this case,your monopoly would result from:

A) sunk costs.
B) location.
C) economies of scale.
D) government restrictions.

Economies of Scale

Cost advantages reaped by companies when production becomes efficient, as the scale of operation increases with the reduction in average costs.

Fixed Costs

Fixed costs are business expenses that remain unchanged regardless of the level of production or sales, such as rent, salaries, and insurance premiums.

Capital

Resources made and used by humans to produce goods and services, including buildings, machinery, and equipment.
