Question 1 Report
A craft business changes from buying wool in small packets to ordering a large delivery at a discount. What is the most likely effect on its average cost of producing each scarf? [1]
(a) The average cost of each scarf will decrease. [1]
Buying a large delivery at a discount lowers the cost of wool. If the business makes scarves using this cheaper wool, its total production cost per scarf is likely to fall. This is a bulk-buying cost saving.
