338.514 4 Size of enterprise (economies and dis-economies): [The important distinction here is long-term versus short-term decisions. We can add – N1h to the average and marginal cost notation above to indicate long-run. We can leave short-run as the default option, or could add – N2a to average and marginal cost above. Note that fixed and variable cost only makes sense in the short term.]
