The Rocky Mountain Spring Water Company experiences a surge in orders, because the water of one of its major competitors is taken off the market due to news that samples contained benzene. As the Company struggles to increase production of its bottled water, it finds that the marginal product of labor, its only variable input, approaches zero. When the marginal product of labor becomes zero this month, the firm Select one: O a. will still be able to fill additional orders this month without hiring more workers. O b. won't be able to fill any additional orders this month. O c. will achieve maximum output per unit of labor. O d. will be able to fill additional orders this month by hiring more workers.

The marginal product of the variable input O is equal to the total product divided by the total amount of the variable input employed. O Change in Y/Change in X O is always positive. O typically falls then rises.
Suppose that Tim runs his own lawn care service and that his firm is competitive in the lawn care industry. He has a fixed number of tools that can be used to maintain a yard, but he needs to determine the productivity gained from hiring various numbers of workers per week. Which of the following statements best represents the idea behind the marginal product of labor ( MPL )? When Tim hires more workers, he can mow more lawns per week, but at a decreasing rate. If Tim hires twice as many workers per week, he can mow twice as many lawns per week. If Tim buys one more lawn mower, he can mow 13 more lawns per week. If Tim hires an additional worker per week, he can mow 11 more lawns per week. The following graph portrays the weekly total product curve for lawn mowing given a fixed amount of capital and varying labor inputs. (Note: Each black point (plus symbol) represents a point on the total product curve.) 100 90 во 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 xxxx_ Total Product ° 0 1 2 4 5 7 8 10 LABOR…

When marginal product is occurs between points A and average product is decreasing. average product, we know average product is increasing. This . When marginal product is average product, we know above below Output A B C MP Units of labor, L AP D
Suppose that the price of labor (the wage rate) is $100 a day and that the rental price of capital is $50 a day. Currently the Jedie Weapons Corporation is using ten units of capital and five units of labor to produce 500 lightsabers a day. Each lightsaber sells for $2. At the current input use levels, the marginal product of capital is 40 lightsabers per day and the marginal product of labor is 60 lightsabers a day. Is the firm making an economic profit at its current levels of operation? 2. Could the firm increase its profits at the current level of output by adjusting its use of labor and capital? If so, how should input use be adjusted?

Suppose that a firm has a production function given by: q= 10 L² K. The firm has 10 units of capital in the short run. Which of the following will describe the marginal product of labor (MPL) for this production function? Select one: a. Constant Marginal Returns to Labor b. Increasing Marginal Returns to Labor O c. Decreasing Marginal Returns to Labor
Time left 1:30:35 Suppose you are given the following output and (incomplete) cost table (assume labor is the only variable input and that all workers are paid an equal wage rate): Labor Output 0 0 2 3 4 100 units 270 units 570 units 650 units Fixed Cost Variable Cost C. a. an amount less than $15 b. an amount between $15 and $25 an amount between $25 and $35 d. an amount between $35 and $45 e. an amount greater than $45 Total Cost $50,000 Average Variable Cost undefined What is marginal cost when the third worker is employed? $61.53

Which of the following is incorrect when there is one input (labor) in the production? The production function is concave when law of diminishing marginal product holds. Firms can produce under the total product curve and on the curve but not above the curve. Total product is at the maximum when marginal product of labor is zero. O Marginal product is equal to average product when marginal product is at the maximum.
3. A cost minimizing firm with q = K¹/21/2 that produces q = 40 pays w = 8 and r = 2. a. Provide an Isoquant and Isocost Diagram to illustrate and quantify this firm's choices for capital and labour as Bundle A. b. Next month the firm will reduce output to q = 20. In the short-run, Bundle B, the firm cannot change capital. In the long run, Bundle C, both capital and labour are variable. Update your diagram with calculated values for Bundles B and C.
