1. a) Suppose a firm has short-run productivity data as shown in the table below. This firm is experiencing diminishing marginal product over this range of labour input:
| Labour (Hours) | Total Product (Output) |
| 14 | 50 |
| 15 | 70 |
| 16 | 80 |
Is this true, false, or uncertain? If so, please explain why in detail.
b) If the firm from A3-3 pays its workers $20/hour, then the firm experiences increasing marginal cost between output levels 50 and 80. [Hint: An approximation of MC is the change in cost divided by the change in output.]
Is this question true, false, or uncertain? If so, please explain why in detail.
Homework Answers
A) True
This is because in output range of 14-15, MP is ,70-50 = 20 and in output range of 15-16 MP is 80-70 = 10
Thus, marginal product is diminishing.
B) False (as the marginal cost is fixed, there will be constant cost)

1- If a firm experiences diminishing marginal productivity, does this imply that they experience diseconomies of scale? Explain. 2- Allocative efficiency in perfectly competitive markets depends on the assumption that marginal cost to firms equals marginal cost to society. Using gasoline as an example, what might be some social costs that are not included in the marginal cost to the firm? Explain.
