1a) Consider an economy where output is produced using just labor as input. Output is sold at $10 per unit and the marginal product of labor for each worker hired is expressed as MPL=10-2L. If each worker is paid $40, what would be the total profit of the profit-maximizing entrepreneur? a. $40 b. $60 c. $0 1b) Consider an economy where output is produced using just labor as input. Output is sold at $10 per unit and the marginal product...

· Question 7 In the break-even analysis, a lower average variable cost (AVC): Will result in a higher break-even output Will result in a lower break-even output Will result in either a lower or higher break-even output Will lower the contribution margin ratio · Question 8 In the break-even analysis where AVC is assumed to be constant, at each output, AVC and MC are equal AVC is greater than MC AVC is less than MC AVC can be greater or...
Question 31 1 pts A firm produces automobiles using labor as its variable input. The output per labor hour is one automobile and each additional labor hour could produce two additional automobiles. Suppose that the firm increases its labor hours. Is this a sound economic decision? No, since average product of labor (APL) would decrease. Yes, since average product of labor (APL) is at a maximum. No, since marginal cost (MC) is at a minimum. Yes, since average variable cost...
