Which of the following statements is true? a. In the short run all inputs are fixed. b. In the long run a firm is making the optimal input choice when the marginal products per dollar are equal among all inputs. C. Diminishing returns to labor means that adding one more worker will decrease output. d. All the above
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...
What is the difference between "diminishing marginal returns" and "diseconomies of scale"? a. Both concepts explain why marginal cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable. b. Both concepts explain why average total cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is...

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...
Which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) The average variable cost curve declines as quantity increases because variable costs always decrease as output increases. (y) The average variable cost curve and average total cost curve will eventually intersect as output increases because average fixed cost eventually becomes negative. (z) The marginal cost curve crosses the average total cost curve at the efficient scale, which occurs at the minimum point on the average total cost curve. A. (x), (y)...

Learning by doing doctrine suggests that: a. MC shifts upward as current output increases b. an increase in this period's output will cause future periods' long-run average cost curves to be lower c.

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...
