Fill in the missing parts in the following tables to illustrate the behavior of production and costs in the short-run; then determine the optimal level of production according to the number of inputs you are intending to use. Output Units Land Square Meters Capital Egyptian Pounds Labor Units 0 1000 1600 2100 2500 2600 Output FC VC TC MCL MPL AVC AFC ATC 0 1000 1600 2100 2500 2600 -Hint Consider land and capital as fixed factors, while labor units as variable factors. The cost of land is L.E20 per square meter. The interest rate on capital is 10%. The average wages per unit of labor is L.E1500.
Assume a firm is trying to produce q0 units of output at the lowest total cost. The wage decreases, rotating the isocost line as shown in the below graph. Make the necessary changes to the graph to show the input combination that will now produce q0 at the lowest total cost. Make sure you show the new levels of labor and capital.
Consider a production process where flowers are grown (the output) using gardeners (labor) and greenhouses (capital). The quantity of flowers grown per day with various combinations of labor and capital are shown in the table. Fill in the marginal product of labor in the table below.

Given that the level of labour is 10, the total production is 1,200, and the marginal product of labour is 200, what is the average product of labour?
Mr Naidoo owns a farm where he specialises in the production of vegetables. There has been increases in demand for vegetable as people are being health conscious. Mr Naidoo decides to hire more workers. The figure below shows variable inputs of labour being added to a constant amount of resources. Marginal cost will be at a minimum for Mr Naidoo when he is hiring
The following is a production function. 50,000- 45,000- 40,000- Draw a graph of marginal product as a function of labor. 35,000- 30,000- 25,000- Total output (Q) 20,000- 15,000- 10,000 ng 5,000- 0+ 0 200 100 300 Units of labor (L) 400 L Q 1.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the marginal product curve from 0 to 100 units of labor. Label this line 'MP Segment 1" 2.) Using the line drawing tool, graph the marginal product curve from 100 to 300 units of labor. Label this line 'MPS Note: Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Does this graph exhibit diminishing returns? Explain your answer. ○ A. Yes, it does exhibit diminishing returns, because the marginal product of labor decreases. B. No, it does not exhibit diminishing returns, because the marginal product of labor is zero. ○ C. No, it does not exhibit diminishing returns, because the marginal product of labor is increasing. ○ D. Yes, it does exhibit diminishing returns, because the marginal…
Sandra and Trey operate a small company that produces souvenir footballs. Their fixed cost is $2,000 per month. Each worker costs $1,000 per month. Their monthly production function for footballs is as given in the accompanying table. Quantity of labor (workers) 2. a. 0 2 3 Quantity of footballs 5 0 300 800 1,200 1,400 1,500 :) For each quantity of labor, calculate average variable cost (AVC), average fixed cost (AFC), average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC). b.) On one diagram, draw the AVC, ATC, and MC curves.
