Which of the following conditions is true when a producer minimizes the cost of producing a given level of output?
Which of the following “costs” could a firm that wants to remain in business avoid if it halted current production?
If a firm’s production function is Leontief and the price of capital goes down the
For the cost function C(Q) = 50 + 4Q + 2Q2, the total variable cost of producing 7 units of output is
For the cost function C(Q) = 75 + 4Q + 2Q2, the marginal cost of producing 5 units of output is
Suppose the production function is given by Q = 4K + 6L. What is the average product of capital when 10 units of capital and 5 units of labor are employed?
Suppose the production function is given by Q = 2K + 5L. What is the marginal product of labor when 15 units of capital and 10 units of labor are employed?
Suppose the production function is Q = min {3K, L}. How much output is produced when 6 units of labor and 3 units of capital are employed?
Suppose the marginal product of labor is 10 and the marginal product of capital is 8. If the wage rate is $5 and the price of capital is $2, then in order to minimize costs the firm should use

Constant returns to scale exist when long-run average costs
Suppose the long-run average cost curve is U-shaped. When LRAC is in the increasing stage, there exist
The long-run average cost curve defines the minimum average cost of producing alternative levels of output, allowing for optimal selection of
Economies of scale exist whenever long-run average costs
