Increasing Returns to Scale means that the long-run AC is upward sloping.
The statement is False.
Inlong run if AC cost curve is in U shape, when it is negatively sloped i.e downward sloping the returns to scale is increasing whereas when the slope of average cost is upward it means there are decreasing returns to scale.
Increasing returns to scale compares the relationship between the increase of factors of input and the increase in output as a result. When the output is increasing at an increasing rate as compared to the input used, it is known as increasing returns to scale. For example if with a single unit of input previously used to obtain 1 unit of output, the present output is 1.5 times. Similarly diminishing returns means the decreasing rate of output with increase in input
