8. The law of diminishing marginal product holds that as a variable input increases while other inputs are fixed, ______.a. eventually the fixed inputs will increase at a rate equal to or below the variable increasesb. labor demanded will be high at both very low and very high outputs creating a U-shaped curvec. the marginal revenue product will eventually cause the labor demand curve to turn upwardd. at some point the increase will lose its effectiveness, and additions to output will decline
If the wage rate is above the equilibrium wage rate, the quantity of labor demanded is the quantity of labor supplied. O A. less than O B. equal to OC. greater than O D. the negative of O E. not comparable to
Let's assume that a firm produces 60 products. Its total weekly cost (TC) at this output is $2,100. This includes TVC and TFC. We also know that the firm employs 3 part- time workers at a wage cost of $600 per worker per week. This is the firm's only variable cost (TVC). What is the firm's average fixed cost (AFC) at this output? O $2.50. O $2. O $5. O $100. O $10. Let's assume that a firm's total weekly costs are as follows: 1. Salaries of hired workers $5,000. 2. Supplies = $1,000. 3. Rent = $600, 4. The owners have invested a certain amount of their own money into the business. This could have earned them interest of $200 per week if they had chosen to put it into a bank instead of investing it into their business. 5. The value of the owner's time is estimated to be $800 per week. What are the firm's total economic costs? O $6.000 O $7.600. O $900. $7.500. O $6.700.
11. Fresh Veggie is one of many small farms in Florida operating in a perfectly competitive market. Farm labor is also perfectly competitive, and Fresh Veggie can hire as many workers as it wants for $20 a day. The daily productivity of a tomato picker is given in the table. If a bushel of tomatoes sells for $6, how many workers will Fresh Veggie hire? Also, fill in MP of Labor and VMPL columns.
