- Are fixed costs also sunk costs? Explain.What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?What is the difference between economies of scale, constant returns to scale, and diseconomies of scale?
- What is die difference between accounting and economic profit?A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.Number of workers Total products Marginal product Fixed cost variable cost Marginal cost 0 0 $100 $0 1 900 $100 $100 2 1900 $100 $200 3 2400 $100 $300 (A) The highest productivity level (AP) of worker is achieved at which number of worker? Prove your opinion WIth calculation. (B) At each number of workers, calculate the marginal product (MP) and determined at which level of worker does diminishing marginal product begin?

- 6. A company uses two inputs, unskilled labour (L) and capital (K), to produce itsproduct. The wage rate for a unit of labour is €5, while a unit of capital cost €20.a) Determine the equation and plot the isocost line for the company's expenditures on itsinputs of €1,000. Label the intercepts of the isocost with both axes. Draw a typical isoquantfor an output level Q0 and indicate the optimal input levels of L and K. (Do not forget tolabel the axes).b) Suppose the government introduces a minimum wage for unskilled labour of €6 per unit.Show graphically and explain shortly how much it would cost the firm in the short run,with capital input fixed at K, to keep its output constant at Q0.c) Show graphically and comment shortly on the optimal factor mix that the firm would useto produce Q0 in the long run at the specified minimum wage of €6 per unit(TCO C) You have been hiredto manage a small manufacturing facility whose cost and productiondata are given in the table below.No. of workers Total LaborCost Output TotalRevenue 1 $150 100 $170 2 300 108 550 3 450 114 1150 4 600 119 1470 5 750 123 1600 6 900 125 1700 7 1050 126 1750 What is the marginal product of the secondworker?
