Point A to C: Constant returns to scale
Point C to E: Increasing returns to scale
Point E to G: Decreasing returns to scale
Explanation:
When inputs are increased by a given proportion, from point A to C, output increases by a constant amount of 100. So, from point A to C, it is called constant returns to scale. From point C to E, output increases at an increasing rate, i.e., 200 and 300. So, from point C to E, it is called increasing returns to scale. From point E to G, output increases at a decreasing rate ,i.e., 100 and 50. So, from point E to G, is called decreasing returns to scale.

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.
