Suppose the firm's production function is Q = 2KL where Q is units of output, K is units of capital (which are fixed at 2), and L is units of labor. a. What is the firm’s short-run production function?
b. Over the labor input usage range of 0 to 5, that is L ranging from 0 to 5, graph the firm’s Total Product curve.
c. Derive and graph the firm’s Average Product curve and the Marginal Product curve. Graph/plot them on the same graph.
d. What is different about these AP and MP curves? Does the firm experience any diminishing marginal returns? Why or why not. Explain.
