Question
100%
**Question:** If a production function exhibits constant returns to scale, average cost will increase as output expands. - ○ True - ○ False **Explanation:** In economic theory, if a production function has constant returns to scale, it means that increasing all inputs by a certain percentage results in an increase in output by the same percentage. This implies that the average cost remains constant as output expands, rather than increasing. Therefore, the correct answer is "False."
