It has been stated that, in short-run, Hubert cannot change the
number of ovens he uses in production of pizza. However, he can
change the number of workers he uses.
In short-run, inputs that cannot be changed as production changes are called fixed inputs and inputs that can be changed as production changes are called variable inputs.
So,
In short-run, these workers are variable inputs, and the ovens are fixed inputs.
Following table shows the MPL of each worker -
Number of workers | Output | MPL |
0 | 0 | - |
1 | 50 | (50 - 0) 50 |
2 | 90 | (90 - 50) 40 |
3 | 120 | (120 - 90) 30 |
4 | 140 | (140 - 120) 20 |
5 | 150 | (150 - 140) 10 |
Following is the production function -
Each worker is paid $30 per day and fixed costs is $30 per day.
Following is the total cost schedule -
Number of workers | Output | Fixed cost | Variable cost | Total cost |
0 | 0 | 30 | 0 | 30 |
1 | 50 | 30 | 30 | 60 |
2 | 90 | 30 | 60 | 90 |
3 | 120 | 30 | 90 | 120 |
4 | 140 | 30 | 120 | 150 |
5 | 150 | 30 | 150 | 180 |
Following figure shows the total cost curve -
Marginal product of labor is declining as the number of workers is increasing.
This reflects the law of diminishing marginal returns.
So, the shape of the production function reflects the law of diminishing marginal returns.
Thus, the given statement is True.
