 a. employed all four factors of production; land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.
  b. employed only two factors of production; labor and capital.

Answer to Question 1

An expansion in the output of a decreasing-cost industry can lead to a reduction in input costs and shift the MC and ATC curves downward, and the market price falls. Effectively, a firm experiences lower cost as an industry expands. The new long-run market equilibrium has more output at a lower price. The long-run supply curve is downward sloping.
