Homework Answers
Answer- It is because of increasing and decreasing returns
reason- Initially there are increasing returns of scale which leads to fall in average cost when more and more labor is hired, There is decreasing returns which leads to rise in average cost.
Answer 2. their average total cost is downward sloping
reason- When there is economies of scale, the average total cost falls as output rises.
So average total cost is downward sloping.

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...

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)...

8. The long-run average cost curve is the envelope of the firm's short-run average cost curves, and it reflects the presence or absence of returns to scale. When there are increasing returns to scale initially and then decreasing returns to scale, the long-run average cost curve is U-shaped, and the envelope does not include all points of minimum short-run average cost.
