Based on this, economists conclude that: <\/p> Group of answer choices<\/p> This business's short run is three months and shorter, and its long run is three months and longer.<\/p> <\/p> The long run depends on the diminishing returns for the firm. We don't have this information, so the long run is unknown.<\/p> <\/p> The long run period of time is unknown, because the long run is defined as a period during which all inputs can be doubled. We don't know when inputs can be doubled; only the business owner knows this.<\/p> <\/p> This business's long run is less than four months, and its short run is exactly two months.<\/p> <\/p> This business's short run is three months or longer, and its long run is six months or longer.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Flag question: Question 11Question 115 pts<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Marginal production of labor is: <\/p> Group of answer choices<\/p> the total production divided by the number of workers.<\/p> <\/p> the additional production per worker.<\/p> <\/p> the total production per worker.<\/p> <\/p> the difference between the average production of labor.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Flag question: Question 12Question 125 pts<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> If a nominal interest rate is 8 percent, and inflation is 8 percent, then the real interest rate is: <\/p> Group of answer choices<\/p> minus 2 percent.<\/p> <\/p> 8 percent.<\/p> <\/p> 16 percent.<\/p> <\/p> 0 percent.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Flag question: Question 13Question 135 pts<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> An economist calculates that the cross price elasticity of demand for product A relative to product B is .5 (plus point 5).
