Drag the marker labelled 'Point of minimum efficient scale' to the point of the LRAC curve that corresponds to the point of minimum efficient scale of the firm. The marker is the small circle and you should place the centre of the circle over your chosen position. Figure 2 Long run average cost curve for a firm Point of minimum efficient scale Quantity Cost
