- Output per month Figure 6.1 A B C D E Labor per month Refer to Figure 6.1. At which point on the total product curve is the average product of labor the highest?What do economists mean by "deminishing returns" to an input? What causes diminishing returns? Where would one observe this principle at a job and the real world?Barb's Bakery employs three workers who produce 6 cakes per hour. After Barb hires a fourth worker, production increases to 12 cake per hour. Which of the following statements is TRUE? a. b. C. d. Because the marginal product of the fourth worker is greater than the average product of three workers, the average product must rise. Because the marginal product of the fourth worker is less than the average product of three workers, the average product must fall Because the marginal product of the fourth worker is less than the average product of three workers, the average product must rise. Because the marginal product of the fourth worker is greater than the average product of three workers, the average product must fall.
- 3. We often work with production technologies that give rise to initially increasing marginal product of labor that eventually decreases. Are the following statements then True or False? Explain.The marginal product of labor becomes negative when the slope of the production frontier begins to get shallower as we move toward more labor input.4. At Alan's landscaping firm, labor is fixed in the short run. Increasing his use of capital always leads to additional output and his production function exhibits both increasing and diminishing marginal returns to capital at different points. Using a two-panel diagram, sketch the marginal, average, and total product of canital at Alan's firm. Your diagram does not need to be to scale, but must be internally consistent and consistent with both the information given and economic theory. Explain your diagram and the relationship between the different curves.Use the following to answer questions 5-6: Production Data for Baseball Bat Company Total output (No. of bats) No. of workers 1 20 42 3 66 4 94 124 6. 150 7 170 8. 184 194 200 9. 10 11 204 12 202 13 198 14 190 (Note: disregard the instructions above the table) Using the above table diminishing marginal returns set in after the worker is hired.

- Macmillan Learning Consider the table, which reports production information for a firm that uses a fixed amount of capital and varying amounts of labor. Use this information to answer the questions. Do not round answers. What is the marginal product of the third worker? Third worker's marginal product: units What is the average product of the second worker? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Second worker's average product: units What are diminishing marginal returns, and with which worker do they set in for this firm? Diminishing marginal returns occur in the short run when variable inputs are added to a fixed input, and marginal product declines. In this case, diminishing returns set in with the fourth worker. O Diminishing marginal returns occur in the short run when variable inputs are added to a fixed input, and product declines.

Consider a Cobb-Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number of machines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of college degrees among the workers). The production function Y = K2/6 L3/6 H1/6 a) Derive an expression for the marginal product of labor. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of labor? (Hint: The marginal product of labor MPL is found by differentiating the production function (Y) with respect to labor (L)) b) Derive an expression for the marginal product of capital. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect the marginal product of capital? (Hint: The marginal product of capital MPK is found by differentiating the production function (Y) with respect to capital (K)).1. Suppose the production function is Q = 8L + 15K where Q is the quantity of output, L is the quantity of labor used in production, and K is the quantity of capital used in production. What can be said about this production function? It has Decreasing Returns to Scale It has Constant Returns to Scale It has Increasing Returns to Scale There isn’t enough information to determine the Returns to Scale for this production function 2.
