When the first worker is hired the increase in total product is by 9 units. When the second worker is hired the increase in total product is by 10 units. However when the third worker is hired, total product increases by 8 units. there are diminishing returns when total product increases by a decreasing rate for additional labour units employed. In this case total product starts increasing at diminishing rate when the third worker is employed.
The answer is 3.

Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run when machine number is fixed. It knows that as the number of workers used in the production process increases, the number of output changes according to the following table: # of workers # of output 0 0 1 10 2 17 3 22 # of workers # of output 4 25 5 26 6 25 7 23 1. Calculate the marginal and average products of labor for each additional worker....

Question 4 (20 points) A firm has the following short-run production function as follows: Q = 15L +18L2-0.5L, where Q = total products per period and L = number of workers employed per period. 4.1) (3 points) Derive the marginal product of labor (MPL). At what number of workers (L) does the law of diminishing returns begin? MPL = f(L) = Law of diminishing return begins when L = workers. . 4.2) (3 points) Derive...
Answer the following questions based on the following production function: Does this production function represent the long run or the short run? Explain. Suppose capital (K) is held fixed at 3 units and the firm hires 5 workers. What is the average product? What is the marginal product of adding the 6^th worker? Does the production function eventually exhibit diminishing returns? If so, where and why does this occur? Depict the isoquants for the production function for output levels 27...
Can someone please help me solve this?
1. A basic assumption of the short run is that a firm: A) B) C) can employ more workers and add more capital to the production process. cannot adjust its workforce or the amount of capital it uses. can reduce the number of workers it uses, but it cannot adjust how much capital it D) can freely adjust the amount of labor and capital that it employs. Use the following to answer question...
