It is possible to have diminishing marginal returns to a single factor of production and constant returns to scale at the same time. Discuss.

A.

The statement is true. As long as only one input has diminishing marginal​ returns, it is possible to have constant returns to scale.

B.

The statement is false. If an input exhibits diminishing marginal​ returns, then doubling that input will result in less than double the output.

C.

The statement is false. The terms​ 'marginal returns' and​ 'returns to​ scale' are interchangeable.​ Therefore, if the factors of production have diminishing marginal​ returns, then there are decreasing returns to scale.

D.

The statement is true. Diminishing marginal returns to a single factor applies to the short run when all other inputs are held fixed. On the other​ hand, returns to scales applies to the long run when all inputs can be increased.
