1. In the short run, an increase in output at low levels of production will most likely cause:
Â
A. an increase in the marginal cost due to the rising total fixed cost.
Â
B. an increase in the marginal cost due to the law of diminishing returns.
Â
C. a decrease in the marginal cost due to economies from greater specialization.
Refer to the figure at right. An increase in production from q, to q,
A. is more costly in the short run than in the long run.
B. uses less inputs in the long run.
C. costs the same in the short run or in the long run.

Select one: a. Economies of scale refer to the production of two or more goods and occur when joint production is less costly than the sum of the costs of producing each good separately. b. When the firm experiences economies of scale, its long-run average cost curve is downward sloping. c.
