Each additional worker produces two extra units of output for the first three workers, for some production function. After the third worker, each additional worker produces one extra unit of output. What are the total product of labor, average product of labor and marginal product of labor for the first five workers associated with this production function?

Grease Tech produces oil changes. The production of oil changes reles on both capital (K) and labor (L) and is combined in the following production function F (K, L) = KILL Take the derivative of this production function with respect to capital. What is the marginal product of capital evaluated at (le. just plug in the numbers) 64 units of capital used and 16 units of labor?

The figure shows the production function of a farmer who produces grain by working certain hours each day. Which of the following statements is correct about this production function? a. The slope of the production function represents the marginal rate of substitution. b. The ceteris paribus assumption means that the farmer becomes more productive as he works more hours. c. A rightward movement from B along the production function implies that the farmer has better technology. d. This production function exhibits economies of scale. e. A technological improvement would shift up the production function
Suppose the production function is given by G = 10K - 8L. What is the average product of capital when 2 units of capital and 10 units of labor are employed?
Consider the following production function that depends only on labor:Q = 4L + 12L² - 6L³ 1. Compute the APL (average product of labor). 2. Compute the MPL (marginal product of labor). 3. What is the value of L* at which APL is the highest? 4. For L > L*, which one is bigger, APL or MPL? How about when L < L* and L = L*? 5. Draw APL and MPL on the y-axis as a function of L on the x-axis. Label the point of the intersection of APL and MPL.
Sandwiches, a sandwich shop, has the following marginal product curve (labelled MP) for its hourly productions hourly production.
2. Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number of machines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of college degrees among the workers). The production function Y = K2/6 L3/6 H1/6 a) Derive an expression for the marginal product of labor. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of labor? (Hint: The marginal product of labor MPL is found by differentiating the production function (Y) with respect to labor (L)) b) Derive an expression for the marginal product of capital. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of capital? (Hint: The marginal product of capital MPK is found by differentiating the production function (Y) with respect to capital (K)).
