A firm produces one output with one input and has decreasing returns to scale. The price that it pays per unit of input and the price it gets per unit of output are independent of the amount that this firm buys or sells. If the government taxes its net profits at some percentage rate and subsidizes its inputs at the same percentage rate, the firm's profit-maximizing output will not change.
