Suppose you run a factory whose short-run production function is given by f (L) = 180L² – 3L³. (a) Find mathematical expressions for the total product of labor, the average product of labor and the marginal product of labor. (b) On two separate axes, graph TPL, APL, and M PL. The diagrams do not need to be scale, but be sure they are internally consistent. In other words, make sure that all relevant relationships between the three lines are correct. If you have trouble figuring out what the graph looks like, feel free to use a graphing calculator or an online graphing tool to find the basic shape. Find the quantity of labor associated with each of the following points and label it on your diagram: (i) the maximum value of TPL, (ii) the maximum value of APL, (iii) the maximum value of MPL. (c) For what values of L does the production function exhibit each of the following: i. increasing marginal labor productivity ii. diminishing marginal labor productivity iii. negative marginal labor…
