Which of the following is true about marginal cost? The marginal cost will consistently fall with an increase in production. Marginal cost can be found at the intersection of a firm's budget constraints and production function. In the long run, every firm's marginal cost must equal zero. Marginal cost is the change in total cost that results from a single unit increase in the quantity produced.

'Which of the following statements is TRUE? The average variable cost curve must always be U-shaped. At a production level where & firm has economies of scale, the below the average cost. rising marginal cost is If increasing returns to scale are present; the long-run average cost increases as more output is produced. If the average total cost is increasing as output increases, then the average fixed cost is also increasing: None of the above_'

Both marginal product and marginal cost are at a minimum. c. Marginal product is at a maximum, and marginal cost is at a minimum. d. Marginal product is at a minimum, and marginal cost is at a maximum.
