Question 3 Long-run average total cost (LAC) O a represents the lowest average cost of producing a given level of output. b. is always equal to or greater than short-run average total cost. c. can be measured in the short-run. If a firm is producing the level of output at which long-run average cost equals long-run marginal cost, then a long-run marginal cost is at its minimum point b. long run average cost is at its minimum point. c long...

A firm will continue to operate in the long run only if: it earns a positive rate of return. it earns a nonnegative economic profit. it makes a positive accounting profit. average cost exceeds price. the average variable cost exceeds price. A profit-maximizing firm should shut down in the short run if: price is greater than marginal cost. total revenue is less than total variable cost. the firm is earning less than a normal rate of return. the firm is...

The short run marginal cost curve in the traditional microeconomic model of production eventually rises because of a. diseconomies of scale. b. diminishing marginal revenues. c. rising fixed costs. d. increasing marginal productivity of variable inputs. e. diminishing marginal returns. . If the long-run average cost of production falls as the firm increases its level of output, then the firm exhibits a. constant returns to scale. b. constant marginal costs. c. economies of scale. d. diseconomies of scale. e. diminishing...

If a firm has a U-Shaped long-run average cost curve, a.) its fixed cost rises as output rises. b.) it must have increasing returns to scale at low levels or production and decreasing returns to scale at high levels of production. C.) it must have increasing returns to each input at low levels of production and decreasing returns to each input at high levels of production. D.) the firm can maximize its output by operating at the point of minimum...
