单选题 In the short run, an increase in output (marginal product) at low levels of production will most likely cause:
  • A. an increase in the marginal cost clue to the rising total cost.
  • B. an increase in the marginal cost due to the law of diminishing returns.
  • C. a decrease in the marginal cost due to economies from greater specialization.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 如图所示,在短期内,如果产量处于较低水平,则生产专门化趋势的增强有助于提高产出(MP)。需要注意的是,如果产量处于较高水平,则收益递减规律将最终使边际成本上升,进而使产出水平(MP)降低。 [*]
