Suppose you observe that MPL > APL and MPL is decreasing but positive as more labor is used. Based on this, you can say that TP is rate, and APL must be at a. increasing; a decreasing; increasing b. increasing; a decreasing; decreasing c. increasing; an increasing; decreasing d. decreasing; a decreasing; decreasing e. decreasing; increasing; increasing

In the theory of consumer, we argued that the utility is ordinal, that is, utility number does not have any intrinsic meaning other than to give a preference ordering among consumption bundles. In other words, any increasing monotone transformation of a utility function represents the same preference, hence the spacing between indifference curves does not have any significance. Explain why in the theory of producer, the production function and the corresponding isoquant is a cardinal property, that is, the number itself has an intrinsic meaning. And explain the relationship between returns to scale and space between isoquants.
