Homework Answers
Answer - There is the presence of the increasing economies of scale in long run , which means that there is more output produced than the amount of inputs employed. Or in other words the output keeps on increasing and the cost goes on declining. Hence with the increasing level of output , the cost will decline giving the LRAC curve the negative or the downward slope.

a. Suppose that a firm has the Cobb-Douglas production function = 12K0.75 0.25. Because this function exhibits returns to scale, the long-run average cost curve is , whereas the long-run total cost curve is upward-sloping, with slope. b. Now suppose that the firm's production function is = KL. Because this function exhibits returns to scale, the long-run average cost curve is upward-sloping , whereas the long-run total cost curve is upward-sloping, with slope. a. Suppose that a firm has the...
