For each size of plant a manufacturer could build, there is a different: Group of answer choices long-run average fixed cost curve. long-run average variable cost curve. short-run average total cost curve. long-run average total cost curve. long-run marginal cost curve.

A single-plant firm trying to select the rate of output consistent with an overall plant size that yields the minimum efficient scale will choose a rate of output for which a) The long-run marginal cost curve crosses the long-run average fixed cost curve at the rate of output. b) Long-run average total cost is lowest at the rate of output. c) The short-run marginal cost curve crosses the short-run average total cost curve at that rate of output. d) Total fixed costs are minimized at that rate of output.

A firm is producing at minimum average total cost with its current plant. Draw the firm's long-run average cost curve. Label it. Draw a point on the LRAC curve at which the firm cannot lower its average total cost. Draw the firm's short-run average total cost curve that is consistent with the point you have drawn. Label it. When the firm cannot lower its average total cost by changing its plant, then it is operating on its long-run average cost curve at a point with _______.
