Explain one possible reason why average cost per unit may increase as the output level of a business increases.

If a firm has decreasing returns to scale their unit cost will increase as output increases. This is because the firm‘s costs are increasing as they increase their output, so the average (the total cost divided by the output) cost is increasing.
