**Transcription for Educational Website: Production Function Analysis**---### Labor and Production**Introduction**: Understanding how labor affects production is crucial for optimizing output in any business setting. This exercise explores the relationship between the number of workers and total product output.**Scenario**: When labor increases from two to three workers, total product increases by ______ per hour.### Instructions- **Plotting Points**: Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the production function on the graph shown below.- **Assumptions**: If there are no workers, Underground Sandwiches does not have any output.- **Guidelines**: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.### Graph Analysis**Graph Description**: The graph titled "Production Function" displays the quantity of labor on the x-axis (ranging from 0 to 5 workers) and output on the y-axis (ranging from 0 to 80 units). The graph is currently empty, allowing users to plot data points based on the given scenario.**Note**: Ensure accuracy in plotting to correctly visualize how changes in labor influence total production output.--- This exercise provides practical insight into the role of labor in production and aids in understanding the dynamics of workforce changes on output levels. ### Aplia Homework: Production and Cost in the Firm#### Marginal Product Curve for Underground Sandwiches**Scenario:**Underground Sandwiches, a sandwich shop, has provided data for its marginal product (MP) curve, reflecting hourly production.#### Graph Explanation:- **Y-axis (Vertical):** Represents the Marginal Product (sandwiches per worker).- **X-axis (Horizontal):** Represents Labor (number of workers).The curve shows the relationship between the number of workers and the additional sandwiches produced per worker. The MP line connects data points indicating:- 0 workers: 0 sandwiches- 1 worker: 16 sandwiches- 2 workers: 18 sandwiches- 3 workers: 15 sandwiches- 4 workers: 12 sandwiches- 5 workers: 10 sandwichesThis graph demonstrates the concept of diminishing marginal returns, as the addition of more workers eventually leads to a decrease in the additional output of sandwiches per worker.**Task:**Calculate the increase in total product when labor increases from two to three workers.**Instructions:**- Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the production function on the graph below.- Assume no output if there are no workers.**Note:**Plot points in sequential order to connect them automatically, forming line segments.**Graph for Production Function:**Create your plot using the graph labeled "Production Function."

Total product is calculated in the below table. When labor increase from two to three workers, the…

A small clothing manufacturer employs a production method that is approximated by the following production function: q=12KL², where L measures the number of labor hours and K measures the number of rental hours for the machines used in the clothing construction process. Does this production process exhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale? Briefly explain your answer. The hourly wage rate for workers at this company is $15; and the rental cost on the machines is $75 per hour. The company has a total budget of $3,150 that it can allocate to cover weekly production costs. The goal of the company's owner is to maximize their output, subject to the constraint of their production budget. Determine the output-maximizing levels of labor and capital the owner will employ.
