Question 26
Answer: The administrative burden of taxes will increase.
Question 27
An efficient scale minimizes average total cost.
Question 32
Marginal Product must be falling. Marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one more unit of output. Marginal product is the additional output produced by adding one more worker. Both marginal product and marginal cost are inversely related to each other due to the law of diminishing returns. The law of diminishing returns states that if one factor of production is increased and other factors of production are held constant, the marginal increase in output will be smaller.
Question 44.
Foregone rent of the office spaced used by the firm is the implicit cost. It is an opportunity cost and does not require actual payments.
The other options are wrong as all are explicit costs, requiring actual payments.
