Question

Illustrates the Law of Returns to scale?

Answer 1

In the long run all the factor of production is variable and an increase in output is possible by raising all the inputs. The Law of Returns to scale illustrates the technological relationship in between changing scale of output and input. The law of returns of scale describe how a simultaneous and proportionate raise in all the inputs influences the total output. The rise in output may be proportionate, less than proportionate or more than proportionate. If the rise in output is proportionate to the raise in input, this is constant Returns to scale. If this is less then proportionate this is diminishing returns to scale. The rising return to the scale comes first, and after that constant and at last diminishing returns to scale happens.
