Return to scale.<\/p>\n<p>In the long run, all factors of production are variable, so the cost and output relationship depends on the returns to scale. Returns to scale refers to the relationship between the amount of inputs used and the amount of output produced. There are three types of returns to scale: constant returns to scale, increasing returns to scale, and decreasing returns to scale.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Constant returns to scale occur when the amount of output produced increases in proportion to the amount of inputs used. For example, if a company doubles the amount of labor and capital it uses, it will also double the amount of output it produces.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing returns to scale occur when the amount of output produced increases more than in proportion to the amount of inputs used. For example, if a company doubles the amount of labor and capital it uses, it will more than double the amount of output it produces.<\/li>\n<li>Decreasing returns to <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> scale occur when the amount of output produced increases less than in proportion to the amount of inputs used.
