Please select all that are true regarding Minimum Efficient Scale (MES):
if the quantity demanded is equal to Qmes, then the lowest cost solution is for one firm to supply the market
MES is the quantity produced where average costs for a firm are at a minimum
Long run average costs include fixed cost steps as quantities (scale) increase
Quantities (x-axis) less than MES exhibit decreasing returns to scale due to diminishing marginal returns
Short run average cost curves are for a given level of fixed cost, individually
MES is the quantity demanded where total costs for a firm are at a minimum
Quantities (x-axis) greater than MES exhibit decreasing returns to scale due to diminishing marginal returns
Average costs do not include fixed cost since they don't change
Under what condition will a competitive firm necessarily shut down its operations? What does this imply regarding the shape of the firm's short run supply curve? Use this condition to determine the short run supply curve of the firm uses Labour (L) and Capital (K) to produce commodity (Y). Assuming that the wage rate is Rs. 340/- and the rental rate on capital is Rs. 0.5/-. The quantities of the inputs and outputs are shown in the table below.

The horizontal axis will be qgas (the output of this particular producer) and the vertical axis will measure price in dollars, $. This firm is subject to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Product. Begin by graphically depicting the “Family of Short Run Cost Curves” (AFC, AVC, ATC, MC) for this producer in late June, prior to the implementation of the new gasoline tax (you must submit a graph).arrow_forwardConsider a firm's short-run and long-run supply curves, pictured below. In the short run, one of the inputs to production is fixed. Suppose you know that, at an output of nine units, the fixed factor of production associated with the short-run marginal cost is at its optimal level. You also know that the long-run marginal cost of producing nine units is $9. Using the drag tool, place both the short-rur and the long-run supply curves into their correct positions within the graph. (Once you have made the necessary move(s), both supply curves should be entirely within the graph.)
