Which of the following will shift the AC curve? a. technical change raises the MPP of an input. b. increasing returns to scale.. c. the price of output increases d. the “law” of diminishing returns. explain why
AC curve will shift due to technological change that raises the MPP of an input. If a technical change increases the productivity of an input it shifts the cost curve downward since now more can be produced with the same cost since productivity has increased. So per unit cost would decrease and hence the cost curve shifts due to technical change that raises MPP.

__B__ 48. Economies of scale a. require inputs' MPP to fall as output increases (everything else equal). b. pertain to the long run only. c. refer to increased output generalized by an increase in the quantity of a single input. d. imply that the AC curve will fall continuously as output increases in the short run. __D__ 49. If in some production range average cost is rising, the firm is experiencing a. increasing returns to scale. b. decreasing returns to...
5. A consumer buys two goods. If the prices of both goods fall by 10% and the consumer's income falls by 20%, then a. the slope of the consumer's budget line will change. b. the consumer's budget line will shift out from the origin with the slope unchanged. c. the consumer's budget line will shift in toward the origin with the slope unchanged. d. the consumer's budget line will not change. 6. The figure at the right shows the isoquant...
16. The short run is a. less than a year. b. three years. c. a time period in which at least one input is fixed. d. a time period in which at least one set of outputs has been decided upon. According to the law of diminishing returns a. the total product of an input will eventually be negative. b. the marginal product of an input will eventually be negative.d c. the total product of an input will eventually decline....
Plot the TPP on one graph and the MPP and APP on another graph. Divide the graphs into the three stages of production. Remember to label your graphs. What quantities of labour (in hours) would be rational to employ? Explain why. What is the quantity of labour at which diminishing marginal returns (or diminishing marginal product) begins to take effect. Explain why you know this is the point at which DMR begins. Using an appropriate diagram, illustrate and briefly...

(c) The slope of the long run supply curve for an individual firm depends on the industry cost...
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...
