- Why will a firm never plan to supply an output at which it has increasing returns to scale?8. siuppose that the manager of a firm operating in a competitive market has estimated the firm's average variable cost function to be: AVC= 18-0.3Q Total fixed cost is $60 and the forecasted price of the firm's product is $12. 79 a. What is the corresponding marginal cost function? b. At what output is AVC at its minimum? C. How much outputs should the firm produce? d. How much profit or loss will the firm earn?,2. If a firm had everywhere increasing returns to scale, what would happen to its profits if prices remained fixed and if it doubled its scale of operation?

- The Supply Room, an online school supply store, grew rapidly. As a result of achieving a much larger size, the Supply Room is able to realize (1) volume discounts when buying from its suppliers, and (2) lower transportation costs by shipping in bulk. The best explanation of this is that the Supply Room seems to be experiencing ways to get around the law of diminishing marginal returns. a. Ob. constant returns to scale. Oc increasing returns to scale. O d. decreasing returns to scale.For each of the following events identify which of the determinates of demand or supply are affected. Also indicate whether demand or supply is increased or decreased. Why? A stock market crash lowers people’s wealth. Batelco increases the prices of mobile services. Diminishing returns mean rising costs while economies of scale mean falling costs. Therefore, a firm cannot be facing both diminishing returns and economies of scale. Do you agree? Why or why not?Which of the following would shift a firm's short-run cost curves downward? a.an increase in excise taxes levied on the firm's product b.an increase in the demand for the firm's product c.an advance in technology d.an increase in employees' wages
