- Implicit costs are:
- Equal to total fixed costs.
- Comprised entirely of variable costs.
- "payments" for self-employed resources.
- always greater in the short run than in the long run.
- The law of diminishing returns states that:
- As a firm uses more of a variable resource, given the quantity of fixed resources, the average product of the firm will increase.
- As a firm uses more of a variable resource, given the quantity of fixed resources, marginal product of the firm will eventually decrease.
- In the short run, the average total costs of the firm will eventually diminish.
- In the long run, the average total costs of the firm will eventually diminish.
- The law of diminishing returns only applies in cases where:
- there is increasing scarcity of factors of production.
- the price of extra units of a factor is increasing.
- there is at least one fixed factor of production.
- capital is a variable input.

- total product is increasing if marginal product is still positive
- total product levels off
- Variable costs are:
- sunk costs.
- multiplied by fixed costs.
- costs that change with the level of production.
- defined as the change in total cost resulting from the production of an additional unit of output.
- The reason the marginal cost curve eventually increases as output increases for the typical firm is because:
- of diseconomies of scale.
- of minimum efficient scale.
- of the law of diminishing returns.
- normal profit exceeds economic profit.
- If the short-run average variable costs of production for a firm are rising, then this indicates that:
- average total costs are at a maximum.
- average fixed costs are constant.
- marginal costs are above average variable costs.

- The firm's short-run marginal-cost curve is increasing when:
- marginal product is increasing.
- marginal product is decreasing.
- total fixed cost is increasing.
- average fixed cost is decreasing.
- A firm encountering economies of scale over some range of output will have a:
- rising long-run average cost curve.
- falling long-run average cost curve.
- constant long-run average cost curve.
- rising, then falling, then rising long-run average cost curve.
- When a firm doubles its inputs and finds that its output has more than doubled, this is known as:
- economies of scale.
- constant returns to scale.
- diseconomies of scale.

- economies of scale.
- normative economies.

- an increasing marginal product of labour.
- If all resources used in the production of a product are increased by 20 percent and output increases by 20 percent, then there must be:
- economies of scale.
- diseconomies of scale.
- constant returns to scale.
- increasing average total costs.
- Economies and diseconomies of scale explain why the:
- short-run average fixed cost curve declines so long as output increases.
