If a firm builds a larger plant and increases output and if its long-run average total cost does not change,the firm has constant returns to scale.

Constant Returns To Scale

A condition where increasing all inputs by any proportion results in output increasing by that same proportion, indicating that size does not affect productivity.

Long-Run Average Total Cost

The cost per unit of output incurred when all factors of production are variable, and scale of production can be changed.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
If the long-run average total cost does not change with an increase in output, then the firm has constant returns to scale. This means that doubling inputs will exactly double output, while also keeping the cost per unit constant.
