The marginal product of labor = Change in output/change in labor
= (175-150)/5
= 25/5
= 5
If output expands from 150 units to 175 units when 5 more units of labor are...
Assume labor and machines are used in the production of an output. The marginal product of the last worker hired was 175 units a day and the marginal product of the last machine employed was 850 units a day. The wage to hire a worker for a day is $100 while the cost to employ the machine for a day was $400. Assuming perfect competition what would you recommend the firm do to become more efficient?

Holding capital constant, when labor increases from 9 to 10 units, output increases from 193 to 215. he marginal product of labor is " blank" units, and when 10 units of labor are used, the average product of labor is "blank" units.
Suppose a certain firm is able to produce 160 units of output per day when 15 workers are hired. The firm is able to produce 176 units of output per day when 16 workers are hired (holding other inputs fixed). What is the marginal product of the 16th worker? Select one: a. 10 units of output b. 176 units of output c. 11 units of output d. 16 units of output
Suppose that the marginal product of labor falls from 21 units of output to as the amount of labor employed increases by 1. Which of the following is TRUE? O The coefficient of price elasticity of demand is 1. Total revenue is at a minimum, and the additional worker should be laid off. Total product cannot be increased further with additional workers. The marginal revenue product is at a maximum

Question 1 Labor Capital Output Total Cost Average Marginal Product of Labor Total Cost Marginal Cost 50 150 Suppose the cost of 1 unit of capital is $500 and the cost of 1 laborer is $750. What is the MC when added the second laborer?
For Firm A, when four units of output are produced, the total cost is $175 and the average variable cost is $33.75. What would the average fixed cost be if the units were produced?
