(a) economies of scale (b) diseconomies of scale (c) constant economies of scale (d) increasing returns to scale
1. As the quantity produced goes to infinity , the average variable cost will approach the average total cost . Hence, option(C) is correct.
2. In the model of competitive firm's , the firm wants to maximize profit by choosing quantity. Hence, option(B) is correct.
3. The $40 fee for a license to sell stuffed animals. This fee is a fixed cost. Hence, option(B) is correct.
4. Firms have no price setting power , firms sell identical products and firms have constant economies of scale are the assumptions about perfectly competitive market.
5. Suppose a firm doubles its output and its costs more than double. We would say that this firm displays diseconomies of scale. Hence, option(B) is correct.
