I, III, IV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The minimum Long Run Average Cost (LAC) can be determined on a LAC curve for a normal production function and a planning curve. A linear production function does not have a minimum LAC. An envelope curve is the long-run average cost curve that is tangent to all short-run average cost curves.<\/p>\n<p>A normal production function is one that exhibits increasing marginal returns at low levels of output, followed by diminishing marginal returns at higher levels of output. The LAC curve for a normal production function is U-shaped, with the minimum LAC occurring at the point where the LAC curve intersects the average variable cost (AVC) curve.<\/p>\n<p>A planning curve is a <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> graph that shows the minimum cost of producing each level of output.

The LAC curve for a linear production function is a straight line, with the minimum LAC occurring at the point where the LAC curve intersects the AVC curve.
