A decrease in the long-run average total cost as output increases is due to
-
a declining average fixed cost.
-
economies of scale.
-
externalities.
-
the law of diminishing returns.
Homework Answers
Average fixed cost may not be decreasing in long run as the fixed cost may also be increasing because of expansion. Hence option a is not correct
Economies of scale is the correct answer as when the firms increase output average cost decreases. Hence option b is correct
Other two options are not relevant
