When a firm is at its minimum efficient scale of operation, it produces the
a. maximum rate of output at which long-run average cost is minimized.
b. minimum rate of output at which long-run average cost is minimized.
c. maximum rate of output consistent with lowest long-run marginal cost.
d. minimum rate of output consistent with lowest long-run marginal cost?

Respuesta :

The relation between cost per unit of output and the level of output is captured in the average total cost curve. 
When a firm is at its minimum efficient scale of operation, it produces the 
minimum rate of output at which long-run average cost is minimized. With economies of scale, costs may fall over some ranges of output and rise over other.Correct answer: B
