Answer:
Based on this data, the market for product Z is:
A. operating with decreasing returns to scale.
Explanation:
For the Average Revenue (Price) to equal the Average Total Cost (ATC) and enable the firms operating in the market to break-even, the firms must increase their production units from 2 million to 3.5 million units. The conclusion that the market for product Z is operating with decreasing returns to scale for a single supplier is because it will take a 75% increase in production for the average total cost to fall from $7 to $5 for the single producer. In other words, the percentage increase in production does not result in a proportionate decrease in average total cost.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
The price of Kate's breakfast special is $5.
The average variable cost is $3.95.
The average fixed cost is $1.25.
The average total cost
= $3.95 + $1.25
= $5.20
The price is not covering the average total cost but it is covering the average variable cost. The firm can continue operating in the short run but stop production in the long run.
