1. Define the concept of returns to scale. What is the difference between increasing, decreasing and constant returns to scale? 2. Illustrate increasing, decreasing and constant returns to scale graphically (you can use one graph for each or present all three in one graph).
For the production function Q = 8L2K2, returns to scale: is increasing. is constant. is decreasing. n be increasing, decreasing, or constant depending on the values of L and
Does this production function, q = 10L 0.5K 0.3, experience increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale? Decreasing because 0.5 + 0.3 < 1. Increasing because an 80% increase in inputs increases outputs by 100%. Decreasing because a 100% increase in inputs increases outputs by 80%. A and C.
a. What can you say about returns to scale? options are: constant returns increasing returns decreasing returns b. Are economies of scale present? Yes or No c. If, in this automobile plant, it takes 32 workers and 92 units of capital to produce 200 automobiles a day, how much labour and capital is involved in producing 300 automobiles a day? _______ workers and _______ units of capital The graph below illustrates a series of short-run average cost curves, numbered AC through AC4,...
Exercise 5 Cobb-Douglas and Decreasing Returns to Scale (Farming) Exercise 5. Cobb-Douglas and Decreasing Returns to Scale (Farming) There are over 2 million farms in the United States, covering almost a billion acres of agricultural land. Consider farming output, y (measuring thousand bushels of corn), as a function of short-term factors, such as water, fertilizer, seeds, considered as a composite input, X, and land as a long-term factor, L. Both are necessary, and they each present diminishing marginal returns. Assume...
Which one of the graphs below represents a production function with both increasing and decreasing returns to scale? 70. Which one of the graphs below could represent a total product curve with constant returns to scale? a) Graphia b) Graph b Graph c d) Graph d e) Graph e 1. Which one of the graphs below represents a production function with both increasing and decreasing returns to scale? a) Graph a b) Graph b Graph c d) Graph d e)...
Determine whether the following production functions exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale. L, K, and H are inputs and Q is the output in each production function. Initially, set each input = 100 and determine the output. Then increase each input by 2% and determine the corresponding output to see if constant, increasing, or decreasing returns to scale occur. (a) Q = 0.5L + 2K + 40H (b) Q = 3L + 10K +...
a) Increasing returns to scale (also known as economies of scale) occurs when average cost is [CHOOSE] ["minimized", "steady", "rising", "maximized", "falling"] . b) Decreasing returns to scale (diseconomies of scale) occurs when average cost is [CHOOSE] ["maximized", "minimized", "falling", "steady", "rising"] . c) When marginal...
