Answer 1

Answer:

The productive efficiency is said to be existing at the point where the production technique adopted is able to minimize the average cost of production.

Explanation:

Production efficiency can be defined as a producer's ability to produce maximum output using minimum resources. When the firm is producing at the lowest point of the average total cost curve production efficiency is achieved.

When producing an additional input will increase the average cost, it means the firm or producer or economy is operating at the level of productive efficiency.

Thus the correct answer is the second statement.
