Multiple Choice
isn’t a minimum efficiency scale.
are diseconomies of scale.
are economies of scale.
are constant returns to scale.
The correct answer is: d)
Reason: since the long run average total cost is horizontal i.e fixed around a region, there is constant returns to scale.
Thanks!

QUESTION 30 A downward-sloping portion of a long-run average total cost curve is the result of: economies of scale. diseconomies of scale. diminishing returns. the existence of fixed resources. 2.5 points QUESTION 31 In the long run, firms in many industries often experience a falling average total cost curve as a result of: gains through trade. increasing marginal returns. economies of scale. lower fixed costs. 2.5 points QUESTION 32 A large aircraft manufacturer, like Boeing, may have a...
When the firm increases output and the costs rise disproportionately slower, then the long-run average cost curve is _and the firm is experiencing O A. horizontal, constant returns to scale OB. upward sloping; diseconomies of scale O C. downward sloping; constant returns to scale OD. downward sloping, economies of scale

Long-run average total cost falls as the firm realize: rises when the firm experiences [ (Click to select) diseconomies of scale diminishing marginal returns increasing marginal returns b. The minimum efficient scale is the level of output produced by the smallest firm in the industry. smallest level of output at which a firm can produce. only level of output where long-run average total costs are minimized. smallest level of output needed to attain...
Economies of scale refers to when:
In the long run when average total cost does not depend on the
quantity of output, this is called:
Commodities:
We assume that in the long run in a perfectly competitive
market:
Multiple Choice an increase in the quantity of output increases average total cost in the long run. None are correct. average total cost does not depend on the quantity of output in the long run. an increase in the quantity of output...
If a firm's long-run average cost goes from $3 to $2.5 when output increases, the firm is experiencing ________. economies of scale constant returns to scale diseconomies of scale a shift in its long-run average cost curve
Economies of scale occur when a firm's long-run average total cost curve is: Multiple Choice a. upward-sloping. b. vertical. c. downward-sloping. d. horizontal.
The short run marginal cost curve in the traditional microeconomic model of production eventually rises because of a. diseconomies of scale. b. diminishing marginal revenues. c. rising fixed costs. d. increasing marginal productivity of variable inputs. e. diminishing marginal returns. . If the long-run average cost of production falls as the firm increases its level of output, then the firm exhibits a. constant returns to scale. b. constant marginal costs. c. economies of scale. d. diseconomies of scale. e. diminishing...
7. Long-run cost relationships The following graph shows the short-run average total cost curves and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing firm. The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency between each short-run average total cost curve (SRATC) and the long-run average total cost curve (LRATC); for example, Q1 marks the point of tangency between SRATC1 and LRATC The orange point on SRATCs indicates the firm's current output level in the short run (Q5). SRATC SRATC SRATC4...

If a firm has a U-Shaped long-run average cost curve, a.) its fixed cost rises as output rises. b.) it must have increasing returns to scale at low levels or production and decreasing returns to scale at high levels of production. C.) it must have increasing returns to each input at low levels of production and decreasing returns to each input at high levels of production. D.) the firm can maximize its output by operating at the point of minimum...
