Question 24 Consider the following production function when K is fixed. (This is a description of the figure: it shows a two-axis graph; in the horizontal axis we measure labor and in the vertical axis we measure output, in this case articles as in the production function of a newspaper; the graph of the production function, for the given level of capital K fixed, is composed of two line segments; the first goes from the origin to the point (10,30); the second, starting from 10 on, is a horizontal line; it is also shown that the production for five units of labor is 15). Can we say that the production function satisfies the law of decreasing marginal returns of labor?True False
Nia's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parlor servicing the college campus of Tallahassee that specializes in vegan pizzas. Nia's small shop has barely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Nia signed a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building's size constraint, Nia is unable to change the store's number of pizza ovens in the short run. However, Nia does face a decision regarding the number of employees to schedule on a weekly basis. Every Sunday, Nia contacts the staff to communicate the amount of workers needed on each day of the upcoming week. In the short run, the store employees are inputs, and pizza ovens are inputs. The following table presents Nia's daily production schedule. Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker. Output Marginal Product of Labor (Pizzas) Labor…

Graph the change on the production function when a firm decreases its labour
Suppose that a firm’s production function is Q =10 K^(3/4)L^(1/4). The cost of a unit of labor is $1 and the cost of a unit of capital is $3. The manager of this firm is interested in finding the following information: a) Type of returns to scale and the marginal products of labor and capital. b) The marginal rate of technical substitution of labor for capital. Graph the isoquant map. c) The firm is currently producing 100 units of output. Find the optimal cost-minimizing quantities of labor and capital. Graphically illustrate this optimal solution using isoquants and isocost lines. What is the minimum total cost? d) The manager now wants to know the K/L ratio to produce anyoutput level at the minimum total cost. Represent graphically the expansion path in the long run.
