AC = a + b
(As r = 0, Nr = N0 = 1. So, AC = a + b)
does not experience
negative
(When there is no r then there is no learning by doing and AC must
fall for this so r should be negative.)
C. decreases with cumulative output
(When r < 0 then AC will become AC = a + b/Nr. So, as
N increases AC will decrease.)
C. a is the average cost of producing before any learning by
doing
(AC = a when there is no learning by doing.)
