A firm's total cost to produce 1,000 units of a good is $5,000. When the firm increases its output to 1,500 units, its total cost rises to $7,500. Based on this information, which statement best describes the firm's production technology over this range of output?

Analyzing a Linear Cost Function

A firm's total cost of production is directly proportional to the quantity of output it produces, and there are no costs when output is zero. If this relationship is plotted on a graph with total cost on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, it forms a straight line passing through the origin. What does this imply about the firm's cost per unit?

If a firm's production process is characterized by a constant cost per unit of output, then the additional cost incurred to produce one more unit will decrease as the total volume of production increases.

Evaluating a Production Strategy

A firm's production process is characterized by a constant cost per unit, regardless of the output level. Match each cost concept below with its correct description under these specific conditions.

A company manufactures custom coffee mugs. The cost to produce each mug is consistently $4, regardless of whether they make 10 mugs or 10,000 mugs. If the company receives an order for 500 mugs, their total production cost for this order will be $____.

A manager at a manufacturing plant is analyzing production cost data to understand the firm's production technology. Arrange the following steps in the correct logical order to conclude that the firm experiences constant returns to scale.
