QUESTION 1a. Is it possible to have diminishing returns to a single factor of production and constant returnsto scale at the same time? Discuss.b. Isoquants can be convex, linear, or L-shaped. What does each of these shapes tell you aboutthe nature of the production function? What does each of these shapes tell you about theMRTS?QUESTION 2a. A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve:P = 120 − 0.02Qwhere Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm’s costfunction is given by C = 60Q + 25,000.

Economists describe short-run decisions as "constrained" decisions, while long-run decisions are described as "planning" decisions. Referring to a firm's short-run average cost function and long-run average cost function, explain this distinction.

- Question 33 Consider a firm with production function f(L,K)=3L+8K. Assume that capital is fixed at K=12. Assume also that the price of capital r=10 and the price of labor w=3. Then, the average cost of producing q units is?
