Zorluk: OrtaLong-Run Costs and Production

A manufacturing firm increases all of its production inputs by 50%50\%. Consequently, its total output expands by 75%75\%. Which of the following best describes the firm's long-run production condition?

  1. The firm is experiencing increasing returns to scale.Cevap
  2. B
    The firm is experiencing diminishing returns to a variable factor.
  3. C
    The firm is operating under constant returns to scale.
  4. D
    The firm is experiencing decreasing returns to scale.

Cevap

The firm is experiencing increasing returns to scale.
In long-run production, when all inputs are increased by a given percentage (50%50\%) and total output increases by a greater percentage (75%75\%), the firm experiences increasing returns to scale.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the time horizon and input changes
All production inputs are variable and scaled up simultaneously by 50%50\%.
Evaluating long-run production involves changing the scale of all factors of production.
2
Compare output growth to input growth
Percentage increase in output (75%75\%) is greater than the percentage increase in inputs (50%50\%).
Returns to scale compare the proportionate change in output with an equiproportionate change in all inputs.
3
Determine the economic classification
The firm exhibits increasing returns to scale.
An output expansion that exceeds the proportionate input increase defines increasing returns to scale.
