Each additional unit of output produced requires less additional labor. O As additional people are employed, the amount of additional goods produced will diminish. O As total production of goods increases, a diminishing amount of labor is required.

3. Imagine we live in a classical world. Suppose that the production function is Y = L²K², where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The economy has 100 units of labor and 100 units of capital. a. Does the production function show Constant Returns to Scale? Why? b. Derive an expression for the marginal product of labor. Is the marginal product of labor diminishing? How does an increase in the amount of capital affect the marginal product of labor? Explain. What are the real wage and rental price of capital? d.

There are two factors of production, X and Y. They are being used to produce a fixed amount of output called A. If the amount of output, A is held constant, and the isoquants are convex, would the price of X going down always mean less of Y is used? Explain why or why not by explaining through the use of a graph.
