Answer:
1] Correct option: C] minimizes average total costs
The efficient scale of the firm is the quantity of output that minimizes average total costs
2] Correct option: A] always declines with increased levels of output
The average fixed cost always declines when the firm increases its output as the constant fixed cost is spread over a larger output.

(Click to select) economies of scale a. Long-run average total cost falls as the firm realize: rises when the firm experiences [ (Click to select) diseconomies of scale diminishing marginal returns increasing marginal returns b. The minimum efficient scale is the level of output produced by the smallest firm in the industry. smallest level of output at which a firm can produce. only level of output where long-run average total costs are minimized. smallest level of output needed to attain...
. Use math and a graph to show that a monopolistically competitive firm maximizes its profit where it is operating at less than full capacity or minimum efficient scale, which is the smallest quantity at which the average cost curve reaches its minimum (the bottom of a U-shaped average cost curve).
Scenario 15-3 A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $30 its average revenue is $60, and its average total cost is $34 Refer to Scenario 15-3. At Q = 500, the firm's total revenue is a. 13,000 b. $15,000 c. $17,000 d. $30,000.
22. Which of the following is true for a firm that enjoys economies of scale? a. Marginal cost is increasing as output increases. b. Average total cost is falling as output increases. c. Marginal cost is constant as output increases. d. Marginal revenue is falling as output increases. 23. The figure below shows short-run average total cost curves for a firm under four different production technologies. Assume that there are only four different technologies that the firm could use. Refer...
4. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces wool jackets in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity...
