Suppose you have 1 million dollars to invest in physical capital (K). The annual return to your investment is the rental rate. Suppose that the rental rate in 2010 was too low to make the investment worthwhile for you. In year 2020 are you more or less likely to undertake the investment? O More likely because wages have increased due to flooding. O Less likely because wages have fallen due to flooding. O More likely because the rental rate has increased due to flooding. O None of the other options O Less likely because the rental ràte has fallen due to flooding.

An economist estimated the learning curve for the production of Tesla vehicles to be: AC = 433,094*N-0.135 where AC = average production cost and N = cumulative production. Data used was annual. Calculate the resulting learning rate. From this, we can conclude that ⒸAC declines about 13.5 percent per year due to learning ⒸAC declines about 9 percent per year due to learning. Ⓒ there is no learning effect. there are economies of scale in production.

The concept of ‘constant returns to scale’ implies that, if the state of technology (A) remains constant, an increase of x times in both the capital (K) and the amount of labour (N) will lead to an increase of x times in the output.
Returns to scale in production: Do the following production functions exhibitincreasing, constant, or decreasing returns to scale in K and L? (Assume Ais some fxed positive number.)(a) Y = K1/2L1/2(b) Y = K2/3L2/3(c) Y = K1/3L1/2(d) Y = K + L(e) Y = K + K1/3L1/3 (f ) Y = K 1/3L2/3 + A (g) Y = K 1/3L2/3 − A
What do constant returns to scale indicate that a firm is experiencing? 1S an increasing marginal product per unit costs of production that are decreasing as the scale of output expands per unit costs of production that remain stable as the scale of output expands per unit costs of production that are increasing as the scale of output expands
