8) The production function and the diminishing average product of labor a) Complete the following table for the following production function (round off to nearest whole number): # of workers 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Grain output (kg) 632 894 1,095 1,265 1,414 1,549 1,673 1,789 Average product of labor (kg/worker) b) Given the above data graph the production function. Show how to represent the average product of labor on your graph. e) Explain what diminishing average...
a. Complete the following table. b. Explain whether the production function satisfies the diminishing marginal returns property. c. Draw the firm’s short-run production function and verify graphically that average product is falling when it is higher than the marginal product and that total product is falling when marginal product is negative. Number of Workers | Average product of labor Total product Marginal product of labor 20
Teresa's daily production schedule is presented in the following table. Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Pizzas) (Pizzas) 0 0 1 70 2 120 3 160 4 190 5 200 On the following graph, plot Teresa's production function using the green points (triangle symbol). Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect...
The following table shows a short-run production function for tablets. Use the data to determine where diminishing marginal product begins. Number of workers Total output of tablets 0 0 1 50 2 120 3 180 4 230 5 280 6 325 7 320 8 310 Diminishing marginal product begins when the company hires worker number
1. Suppose that the production function for lava lamps is given by Q = KL -ľ, where is the number of lamps produced per year, K is the machine-hours of capital, and L is the man-hours of labor. Suppose K = 600. a. Draw a graph of the production function over the range L = 0 to L = 500, putting L on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis. Over what range of L does the production function...
This homework is based on the topics production and perfect competition 1. Complete the following table: (2 points) Labor Quantity Produced Average Product of Labor Marginal Product of Labor van WN- When does this firm start experiencing diminishing returns?
Q1 [30 points] Show in a diagram using isoquants that a production function can have diminishing marginal return to a factor and constant returns to scale? With the help of a diagram explain the concepts of "isoquant", "diminishing marginal return to a factor", and "constant returns to scale". What are the similarities and differences between indifference curves and isoquants. Q2 [30 points Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using...
The following table represents a certain production function of what a certain facility can produce in one day. Assume the firm has a fixed amount of physical capital that they rent for $500 a day. We will use this example to review CH. 7. [probably easiest to copy and paste the table and question parts into the submission box and then add your response.

The following table shows a short-run production function for yoga pants. Use the data to determine where diminishing targinal product begins. Number of workers Total output of yoga pants 120 325 Diminishing marginal product begins when the company hires worker number
Pigs Workers The graph above shows the production function of a small farm that raises pigs. Refer to the graph to answer the following questions: • If the farm employs 1 worker then it can produce pigs. To produce 80 pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s). Point B on the production function tells us that to produce pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s) • The shape of the production function tells us that between points A and B...
