When a firm increases its plant size in the long run and its per-unit costs fall, this is called
A. diminishing returns, and is shown by the downward-sloping portion of the MP curve (or the upward-sloping portion of the MC curve).
B. constant returns to scale, and is shown by the flat portion of the LRATC curve.
C. diseconomies of scale, and is shown by the upward-sloping portion of the LRATC curve.
D. economies of scale, and is shown by the downward-sloping portion of the LRATC curve
Homework Answers
Answer
Option D
D. economies of scale, and is shown by the downward-sloping portion of the LRATC curve
The decrease in the LRATC is called economies of scale and it is depicted by the downward-sloping portion of the LRATC curve.

In the short run, there are many U-shaped cost curves. Which of the following explains why the ATC is that way in the short run? It is U-shaped because the minimum efficient scale is achieved. It is U-shaped because the AFC declines as more goods are produced. It is U-shaped because of economies and diseconomies of scale. It is not U-shaped. It is U-shaped because of increasing and decreasing returns. If a firm is experiencing economies of scale, what is...
