Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run when machine number is fixed. It knows that as the number of workers used in the production process increases, the number of output changes according to the following table: # of workers # of output 0 0 1 10 2 17 3 22 # of workers # of output 4 25 5 26 6 25 7 23 1. Calculate the marginal and average products of labor for each additional worker....

[Short-Run Production] Suppose that a firm is producing in the short run with output given by: Q = 200.5L – 2.5L2, The firm hires labor at a wage of $25 per hour and sells the good in a competitive market at P = $50 per unit. Find the firm’s optimal use of labor and associated level of output. (For extra practice, what is the firm’s associated profit?) I have already finished and went to check my work on Chegg and...

Suppose in the short run a firm’s production function is given by Q = L1/2*K1/2, and that K is fixed at K = 49. If the price of Labor, w = $6 per unit of Labor, what is the firm’s Marginal Cost of production when the firm is producing 28 units of output?
