A University's food services produces 'square meals' (SM) using only one input,
'unmentionable' (U), and a remarkable production process. The production function is:
SM = U2
Part 1. This production function exhibits Increasing,
Decreasing/Diminishing or Constant returns to
scale?
IncreasingConstantDecreasing/DiminishingIncreasing
Part 2. How many Units does it take to produce 225 square meals?
Part 3. How many square meals can be produced with 15 units of
unmentionable?
Part 4. If the input costs 5 per unit, what is the average cost (AC) of producing 25 square meals?
Part 5. If the input costs 5 per unit, what is the average cost
(AC) of producing 125 square
meals?
Part 6. The total cost function is rising at an Increasing, Decreasing/Diminishing or Constant rate?
