She has a standing salary offer of $35,000 a year working for a large corporation. If she had invested her capital outside her own company, she estimates that would have returned $22,000 this year. If accounting profits for the year were $50,000, economic profits were: A. $0 B. -$7,000 C. $21,000 D. $50, Which is most likely to be a long-run adjustment for a firm that manufactures cars on an assembly line basis?

Over the range of positive, but diminishing, marginal returns for an input, the total product curve: A. Falls B. Rises at a constant rate C. Rises at a decreasing rate D. Rises at an increasing rate The next question(s) are based on the following table that provides information on the production of a product that requires one variable input.
