18. Which of the following is most accurate about the Minimum Efficient Scale (MES) of a firm? O Because a firm has various short-run average cost curves, it also has various MES scales. O MES is the scale of operation at which diseconomies of scale starts to dominate. O MES is the scale of operation where at least one short-run average cost starts to increase Specialization of labor can contribute to a firm's productivity only after it has reached its...

19. How can we determine a firm is in the stage of Economies of Scale? Its long-run average cost is decreasing as output increases. Its total profit is increasing as output increases Its average revenue is increasing as output increases O All of its short-run average costs are decreasing as outputs increase.
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...
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...
(Click to select) economies of scale a. 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...
Question 5 1 pts Diseconomies of scale occur when a firm's marginal costs are constant as output increases. long-run average total costs are decreasing as output increases. long-run average total costs are increasing as output increases. O marginal costs are equal to average total costs for all levels of output. Question 6 1 pts
What is the difference between "diminishing marginal returns" and "diseconomies of scale"? a. Both concepts explain why marginal cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable. b. Both concepts explain why average total cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is...
Which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) The average variable cost curve declines as quantity increases because variable costs always decrease as output increases. (y) The average variable cost curve and average total cost curve will eventually intersect as output increases because average fixed cost eventually becomes negative. (z) The marginal cost curve crosses the average total cost curve at the efficient scale, which occurs at the minimum point on the average total cost curve. A. (x), (y)...
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...
