- Question Recently, the owner of KFC Franchise decided to change how she compensated her top manager. Last year, the manager received a fixed salary of $50,000 and KFC made $110,000 in profits (excluding the manager’s compensation). She feared that her store’s performance was connected to the top manager shirking on the job and expected that changes to her top manager’s compensation structure would improve sales. Therefore, this year she decided to offer him a fixed salary of $40,000 plus 5 percent of the store’s profit. Since the change, the store is performing much better, and she forecasts profits this year to be $300,000 (again, excluding the manager’s compensation). Assuming the change of compensation is the reason for the increased profits, and the forecast is accurate, how much more money will the owner make (net of payment to her top manager) because of this change? Does the manager make more money under the new payment scheme?Farmer Greene faces diminishing marginal product.If she plants no seeds on her farm, she gets noharvest.

- (7)Which one of these is false when compared to the relationship between marginal and average product? (a) When average product is increasing in labor, marginal product is greater than average product. That is, if APL increases in L, then MPL > APL. (b) When average product is decreasing in labor, marginal product is less than average product. That is, if APL decreases in L, then MPL < APL. (c) The relationship between MPL and APL is not the same as the relationship between the marginal of anything and the average of anything. (d) When average product neither increases nor decreases in labor because we are at a point at which APL is at a maximum, then marginal product is equal to average product.(7)Which one of these is false when compared to the relationship between marginal and average product?
