In what environment do "constant returns to scale" occur?
a. when the LRAC decreases as quantity increases.
b. when the LRAC remains constant as quantity increases.
c. when the LRAC decreases as quantity decreases.
d. when the LRAC increases as quantity increases.
b is correct
When there are constant returns to scale LRAC is horizontal and thus remains constant with increase in quantity produced.

Question 8 (1 point) When do constant returns to scale occur? when long-run total costs are constant as output increases when long-run average total costs are constant as output increases when the firm's long-run average-cost curve is falling as output increases when the firm's long-run average-cost curve is rising as output increases Figure 13-4 The curves in this figure reflect information about the average total cost, average fixed cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost for...
13. As output (plant size) increases, economies of scale occur when the A) long-run average cost increases. B) long-run average cost decreases. C) short-run average total cost decreases. D) long-run average cost stays constant 14. Economies of scale can occur as a result of which of the following? A) increasing marginal costs as the firm increases its size B) higher fixed cost as the firm increases its size C) management difficulties as the firm increases its size D) greater specialization...

When do constant returns to scale occur when long-run total costs are constant as output increases when long-run average total costs are constant as output increases when the firm's long-run average-cost curve is falling as output increases when the firm's long-run average-cost curv is rising as output increases Scenario 13-5 A stationery firm produces and sells staplers. Last year, it produced 5000 staplers and sold each stapler for $10. In producing the 5000 staplers, it incurred...

The position of its short and long-run average total cost curves suggest that it is operating at a production level: a. between 0 and 1,000. b. between 1,000 and 2,000. c. between 2,000 and 3,000. d. between 3,000 and 4,000. e. where it should shut down immediately. 24. In Exhibit 6-14, the U-shaped LRAC...
1 Discuss the nature of the “returns to scale” associated with production in the long-run, giving an explanation how average cost decreases, remains constant and increases and how they impact the output level.
Question 19 (0.5 points) What happens to price and quantity traded when supply decreases but demand stays constant? 1) Price increases and quantity traded increases. 2) Price decreases and quantity traded decreases. O 3) Price increases and quantity traded decreases. ( 4) Price decreases and quantity traded increases.
1. For a constant returns to scale production function: a. marginal costs are constant but the average cost curve as a U-shape b. both average and marginal costs are constant c. marginal cost has a U-shape, average costs are constant d. both average and marginal cost curves are U-shaped 2. The production function q = 10K +50L exhibits: a. increasing returns to scale b. decreasing returns to scale c. constant returns to scale d. none of the above
