That’s good to hear you say. I’ve enjoyed working with them.
We’re both busy so I’ll get right to the point he says. One of the main objectivesof any business is to be efficient. Without efficiency the company is essentially losing money. Am I right?
Absolutely you say.
What must AutoEdge do he says to obtain economies of scale with production? How do we know that it has achieved economies of scale? Conversely how do we know if it is achieving diseconomies of scale?
That’s a good question you say. I can understand why you ask.
But before you can respond Lester’s cell phone rings. After a minute he ends the call and stands.
I have to get back to the office to handle an emergency he says. Would you send me an e-mail with an answer to my questions please?
No problem you say. I’ll get it to you before I leave work this afternoon.
I appreciate it he says. Thanks.
