4. The rate of output for a product was 1,000 units per month. The company increased all inputs by 20 percent and output increased
to 1,500 units per month. Are the returns to scale increasing,
decreasing, or constant for this product? What should happen to
the production cost per unit?

Explanation:

Company increases the input by 20%

increase in output in percentage terms

= [(1500 - 1000) / 1000 ] x 100

= 50 %

So percentage increase in output is more than percentage increase in input

hence there is increasing return to scale at this product.

In case of increasing return to scale , cost of production per unit  decreases .

There is increasing efficiency in production .

i honesty don't know, good luck tho dawg

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
