Bongiorno’s is a pizzeria operating in a competitive market. Its
short-run production function is shown below. Bongiorno’s weekly
cost of capital (plant) is $750, its cost of labor is $320 per
worker, and its cost of the pizza ingredients is $6 per pie. The
going market price of pizza is $13 per pie.
A) In the scenario above, when Bongiorno’s hires a fourth
worker, what is the marginal product of labor?
B) In the scenario above, if Bongiorno’s hires a...
Assume that a firm’s production function Q = K1/2L1/2. a. Assume that the firm currently employs 200 units of capital and 100 units of labor. Determine the Average Product of Capital, Average Product of Labor, Marginal Product of Capital, and Marginal Product of Labor.
The table below describes the production function of a small cookie producer relating the quantity of cookies produced to the number of workers employed. Use the last column of the table to enter the marginal product of each additional worker. Workers Cookies MP 0 2 5 460 As the cookie producer increases the workforce from 2 to 3 workers the production process exhibits Check mm 200000000" npt. The table below describes the production function of a small cookie producer relating...
Pigs Workers The graph above shows the production function of a small farm that raises pigs. Refer to the graph to answer the following questions: • If the farm employs 1 worker then it can produce pigs. To produce 80 pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s). Point B on the production function tells us that to produce pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s) • The shape of the production function tells us that between points A and B...
