Short-run and long-run average cost curves cannot be U-shaped under constant return to scale. True or false. Explain your answer intuitively with the help of one graph.
Homework Answers
True
Reason: Constant returns to scale occurs when an increase in the inputs used lead to a proportionate increase in output. This means as production cost increases, sales also increase proportionally.
This situation gives rise to a horizontal shaped straight-line AC curve in the short run and long run.
This is because as inputs increase, cost of production will increase. But, an increase in cost of production will be accompanied by proportionate increase in output, Q. That is, AC = TC/Q will remain unchanged, since TC and Q will increase proportionately in this case.
This gives rise to a flat, horizontal AC curve in both short and long run.

In the short run, there are many U-shaped cost curves. Which of the following explains why the ATC is that way in the short run? It is U-shaped because the minimum efficient scale is achieved. It is U-shaped because the AFC declines as more goods are produced. It is U-shaped because of economies and diseconomies of scale. It is not U-shaped. It is U-shaped because of increasing and decreasing returns. If a firm is experiencing economies of scale, what is...

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.
