Suppose a firm is producing in the long run. When it produces 4,000 units of output, its total cost is $8,000. When it produces

4,200 units of output, its total cost is $8,200, and when it produces 4,400 units of output, its total cost is $8,800. This firm is experiencing (constant, decreasing, increasing, increasing then decreasing, decreasing then increasing) returns to scale?

Answer:

increasing then decreasing

Explanation:

production level            total cost             average total cost

4,000                               $8,000                    $2.00

4,200                               $8,200                     $1.95

4,400                               $8,800                    $2.00

Returns to scale measure the change in productivity, or how much input is needed to produce a unit of output.

  • increasing returns to scale: output increases in a greater proportion than inputs
  • constant returns to scale: output increases in the same proportion as inputs
  • decreasing returns to scale: output increases in a lower proportion than inputs

Since first the average total cost decreased, total output increased in a greater proportion than inputs ⇒ increasing returns of scale. But then the situation reversed and total output increased in a lower proportion than inputs ⇒ decreasing returns of scale.

What are some financial consequences that could happen to a borrower if he or she cannot pay back a car loan from a financial in
Cerrena [4.2K]

The bank can repossess the car and if anything is used as collateral they can claim that as well. It is best to not get yourself in debt you cannot pay off.

One way to calculate debt is to figure out what your income is per week, and divide that by the weekly payments for the car. Lets say you make 3200, and your debt is 450 a week.

As shown below

<em>Income ÷ Payments </em>

3200 ÷ 450 = 0.14

Now multiply that by 100 to get your percentage,

0.14 x 100 = %14

Financial advisors recommend that you keep your debt-to-income ratio under 30%.

Answer:

<em>Yes, I will sign the contract. </em>
