2.2 MP does not necessarily fall after some point Æ MC does not necessarily rise
3. Suppose firm doubles all inputs
a) Output doubles (constant returns to scale) Æ ATC unchanged
b) Output less than doubles (diseconomies of scales) Æ ATC increases
c) Output more than doubles (economies of scale) Æ ATC falls
Long-run Average Total Cost Curve
ATC
Constant Returns to Scale
The property whereby long-run
average total cost stays the same
as the quantity of output changes
Q
ATC
Diseconomies of Scale
The property whereby long-run
average total cost rises as the
quantity of output increases
