b ) Does this production function exhibit diminishing returns ? If so , when does the law of diminishing returns begin to operate ? Could we ever get negative returns ?
Problem 13 : Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of false and give the reason .
a ) A firm should stop expanding output after reaching diminishing returns
b ) If large and small firms operate in the same industry , we must have constant returns to scale .
