a. Complete the following table.
b. Explain whether the production function satisfies the diminishing marginal returns property.
c. Draw the firm’s short-run production function and verify graphically that average product is falling when it is higher than the marginal product and that total product is falling when marginal product is negative.
Homework Answers
a.
b.
The diminishing marginal return sets in when MPL of starts decreasing.
Yes, this production function satisfies the law of diminishing return because MPL curve is downward sloping.
c.
As it can be seen in the table and graph that APL is greater than MPL, so it is falling.
When MPL becomes negative, the TP is falling.

Assume labor is the only variable input and that the law of diminishing returns applies, explain the relationship between the marginal product of labor and marginal costs, and the average product of labor and average variable costs. Illustrate graphically these two sets of relationships, and illustrate graphically the short-run average total cost curve. Explain why, in the short-run, that average total cost is eventually increasing as production increases

What is the difference between "diminishing marginal returns" and "diseconomies of scale"? a. Both concepts explain why marginal cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is at least one fixed factor, while diseconomies of scale applies in the long run when all factors are variable. b. Both concepts explain why average total cost increases after some point but diminishing marginal returns applies only in the short run when there is...
