- Diminishing returns occurs in the short run because The average product of labor will decrease after some amount of labor is hired in the short run b. There are fixed inputs to production in the short run The marginal product of labor will decrease after some amount of labor is hired in the short run There are variable inputs to production in the short runarrow_forwardThe short run is the time frame A) during which the quantities of all resources are fixed. B) during which all costs are implicit costs. C) that is less than a year. D) during which the quantities of some resources are fixed. E) during which the quantities of all resources are variable.arrow_forwardfixed cost is the same at each output level except when no output is produced. when a firm produces no output,there are no fix cost. true or false? explainarrow_forward
- The long run is defined as A) the period of time when all resources are variable. B) any time after one year. C) the period of time when most (more than 50 percent) resources are variable. D) the period of time when all resources are fixed.arrow_forwardThe average fixed cost curve will never intersect with either the horizontal or vertical axis. graph. There must be proper positioning of the Average Total Cost curve and Average Variable Cost curve. graph. The Average Total Cost curve and Average Variable Cost curve must not touch (in between is average fixed costs – which can never be zero). graph.arrow_forwardProblem 2 (a) Find an example of a production technology that is such that two inputs must be used in fixed proportions (hopefully a different one from the examples discussed in class). Explain why you chose this example. Draw a typical isoquant of the example you found. (b) Find an example of a production technology that is such that two inputs are completely inter- changeable. Explain why you chose this example. Draw a typical isoquant of the example you found. (c) Find an example of convexity of production technology. Explain why you chose this example. Draw a typical isoquant of the example you found.arrow_forward
