Suppose Die Cast Aluminum Co. is a subcontractor for the auto industry and makes specialized auto parts. There is a bracket it manufactures that it sells for $2.50. The following table shows the number of brackets that can be produced from a given number of labor hours. Assume that the company cannot hire labor for a fraction of an hour. Hours of Labor Output 50 90 120 140 150 155 157 4 5 6. The marginal product of labor for the third hour of labor is 30. (Enter your response as an integer.) The value of the marginal product of labor for the third hour of labor is 75. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the wage paid to workers in Die Casť's plant is $25/hour, it should employ worker(s). (Enter your response as an integer.) If the wage paid to workers in Die Casť's plant is $35/hour, it should employ worker(s). (Enter your response as an integer.) If the wage is $25/hour, but the price of a bracket declines to $2.00, it should employ worker(s). (Enter your response as an integer.)

Nimbus, Inc., makes brooms and then sells them door-to-door. Here is the relationship between the number of workers and Nimbus's output in a given day: In the following table, complete the marginal product column. Workers Output Marginal Product Total Cost 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 15 40 75 120 150 165 170 AAAAAAA $ $ $ Marginal Cost A worker costs $60 a day, and the firm has fixed costs of $120. Use this information to fill in the column for total cost in the previous table. Fill in the column for marginal cost in the previous table. (Hint: MC) Average Total Cost Fill in the column for average total cost in the previous table. (Hint: ATC= Which of the following statements are true about the patterns found in this table? Check all that apply. When marginal cost is less than average total cost, average total cost is rising. When marginal product is rising, marginal cost is falling. Average total cost is not U-shaped. Marginal cost declines at first, then rises.
