In a production process, all inputs are increased by 10%; but output increases less than 10%. This means that the firm experiences
A) decreasing returns to scale.
B) constant returns to scale.
C) increasing returns to scale.
D) negative returns to scale
Answer is option A)
DRS
so when all inputs rise by 10% , but output rises by less than 10%,
Then it is case of DRS
In a production process, all inputs are increased by 10%; but output increases less than 10%....
1 pts In a production process, all inputs are increased by 10%; but output increases less than 10%. This means that the firm experiences: o negative returns to scale. o decreasing returns to scale. O constant returns to scale. o increasing returns to scale.
__B__ 48. Economies of scale a. require inputs' MPP to fall as output increases (everything else equal). b. pertain to the long run only. c. refer to increased output generalized by an increase in the quantity of a single input. d. imply that the AC curve will fall continuously as output increases in the short run. __D__ 49. If in some production range average cost is rising, the firm is experiencing a. increasing returns to scale. b. decreasing returns to...
10. Consider a firm that increases its inputs by 15 percent. For each scenario, state whether the firm experiences economies of scale, diseconomies of scale, or constant returns to scale. a) Outputs increase 15 percent b) Outputs increase by less than 15 percent: c) Outputs increase by greater than 15 percent: 11 A fim's lang-nus talcosts are even in the table below Long run average total cost(s) Long-run total cost ($) 24 28 30 34 40 48 Output 7 63...
Morgan and Doyle have a business. The production function for that business can be described by the following expression: Y=LL2, where L = hours of work put in by Morgan and L2 = hours of work put in by Doyle. This production function exhibits: O constant returns to scale. increasing returns to scale, i.e., when doubling all inputs increases output by more than double. decreasing returns to scale, i.e., when doubling all inputs increases output by less than double. O...
all of them Question 7 (1 point) If the long-run average cost is upward sloping, the firm is experiencing decreasing returns diseconomies of scale Oincreasing costs all of the above none of the above Question 8 (1 point) A production function in economics means any function performed by an employee when producing output the various functions performed by all employees when producing output the function performed by the person in charge of the production process the relationship between inputs and...
A firm uses two inputs x1 and x2 to produce output y. The production function is given by f(x1, x2) = p min{2x1, x2}. The price of input 1 is 1 and the price of input 2 is 2. The price of output is 10. 4. A firm uses two inputs 21 and 22 to produce output y. The production function is given by f(x1, x2) = V min{2x1, x2}. The price of input 1 is 1 and the price...
Suppose a firm doubles the amount of all of its factors of production and, as a result, output increases from 100 to 300 units. This firm is operating under Increasing cost Decreasing costs Long-run decreasing returns Decreasing total cost Diseconomies of scales Positive economic profit is The excess of revenues over implicit costs A signal for firms in other industries to expand their output A signal for resources to enter the industry in the long run The excess of revenues...
16. The short run is a. less than a year. b. three years. c. a time period in which at least one input is fixed. d. a time period in which at least one set of outputs has been decided upon. According to the law of diminishing returns a. the total product of an input will eventually be negative. b. the marginal product of an input will eventually be negative.d c. the total product of an input will eventually decline....
Question 3 Long-run average total cost (LAC) O a represents the lowest average cost of producing a given level of output. b. is always equal to or greater than short-run average total cost. c. can be measured in the short-run. If a firm is producing the level of output at which long-run average cost equals long-run marginal cost, then a long-run marginal cost is at its minimum point b. long run average cost is at its minimum point. c long...
A production function exhibits constant returns to scale if: Doubling all inputs delivers exactly twice the output. Doubling all inputs delivers exactly more than twice the output. Doubling all inputs delivers exactly less than twice the output. none of the above The marginal product of capital (MPK) is: The additional unit of output that is produced when both labor and capital are increased by one unit. The additional output that is produced when there is technological improvement. The additional output...
