There are two firms that produce large commercial airplanes, namely Boeing and Airbus. Boeing and Airbus have different flight control systems, with many pilots preferring one system over the other. The Airbus A380 has a double-deck design that can hold up to 840 passengers and sells for $375.3 million. In contrast, the Boeing 747 can hold up to 568 passengers and sells for $317.5 million. What key assumptions of the supply and demand model are violated in the large commercial airplane market?

Recently, the Boeing Commercial Airline Group (BCAG) recorded orders for more than 15,000 jetliners and delivered more than 13,000 airplanes. To maintain its output volume, this Boeing division combined the efforts of capital and more than 90,000 workers. Suppose the European company Airbus enjoys a similar production technology and produces a similar number of aircraft, but labor costs (including fringe benefits) are higher in Europe than in the United States. Please explain whether workers at Airbus have the same marginal product as workers at Boeing?

If Boeing produces 9 jets per month, its long-run total cost is $9.0 million per month. If it produces 10 jets per month, its long-run total cost is $9.5 million per month. Does Boeing exhibit economies or diseconomies of scale? Provide reasons.
