Answer 2

Mass production resulted in lower prices of consumer goods. Eventually, economies of scale resulted in the most affordable price of any product for the consumer without the manufacturer having to sacrifice profits.

Mass production to produce goods increases the amount of goods produced. With mass production businesses can sell more of their products and make money.
