When diseconomies of scale outweigh economies of scale the |
long run AC curve rises
marginal cost falls
long run ATC curve falls
AVC falls
|
8 |
Law of decreasing returns generates |
law of economic growth
law of increasing costs
law of variable costs
law of decreasing costs
|
9 |
Marginal product indicates rate of change of |

|
12 |
The production function relates to |
cost of output
cost of input
output to input
demand to output
|
13 |
If in a production process, all inputs are increased by 10% and output increase by less than 10%, then it is called |
economies of scale
diseconomies of scale
diminishing marginal returns
negative economies
|
14 |
Internal economies of scale include |
risk-bearing economics
trade mark
managerial economies
a and c of above
|
15 |
The government constructed a new water reservoir for the purpose of irrigation; this might be taken as |
increase in supply of capital
increase in supply of land
increase in supply of land and supply of capital
none of these
|
16 |
The maximum point of TP curve is at quantity of labour where |
Average physical product of labour is equal to 1
MPP of labour is at its maximum
curves of APP and MPP of labour intersect
MPP of labour is zero
|
17 |
Which of the following is example of external economies of scale? |
Discount on purchases of raw materials
Technical progress leads to development of machines at low price
Hiring of specialized staff due to increase in scale of production
A firm starts producing by products
|
18 |
When a firm using a fixed amount of land and capital takes on more workers, it finds that marginal product(MP) of labour falls but the average product(AP) of labour rises. This can be explained by the factors that |
MP of labour is grater than AP of labour
additional workers are more efficient
MP and AP are equal
AP is maximum
|
19 |
Which of the following saying describes diminishing marginal returns in the short run? |
When the cat is away, the mouse will play
Too many cooks spoil the broth
A rolling stone gathers no moss
A stitch in time saves nine
|
20 |
during short period, diminishing returns may follow because |
quantity of labour is fixed
quality of labour is fixed
quantity of capital is fixed
quantity of any one factor is fixed
|
