State how is the law of diminishing returns reflected in the shape of total product curve? What is the relationship between diminishing returns and the stages of production?
Please refer to the table attached. The number of fish caught per week on a trawler is a function of the crew size assigned to operate the boat. Based on past data, consider the following production function identifying the relationship between output and labor input. You may assume that capital is fixed at 10 units. Answer all of the question. Calculate APL and MPL. Graph APL and MPL. Do they have the expected shape? On your graph, identify the three stages of production.
True or False A production function in "economics" summarizes the technological relationship between inputs and outputs.
Which of the following statements are true? A basic assumption of the theory of production is that: A firm cannot borrow money to finance its input expenditures. A firm can buy as much labor and capital as it desires in the long-run A firm can reduce the number of workers it uses, but it cannot adjust how much capital it uses in the short-run When the marginal product of labour starts falling, the firm must cease production a. II only b. II and III c. I, III and IV d. II, III and IV
Why are the MC and MP inversely related to one another? While it is because as one increases, the other decreases, please explain the meaning behind the inverse relationship that exists between worker productivity and cost, in general.
Q 1. Given the following production function Where; Y is the total output of the economy K is the amount of land, and L is the labor force of the economy Assume A=1 and  = 0.5 The initial values of K and L is 100 units. a. How much output does the economy produce? b. What are the wage and rental price of land? c. What share of output does land receive? d. If a flood damaged half of the land, what is the new level of output in the economy? e. What is the new level of wage and rent? f. What share of output does land receiving now? Q 2.

The aggregate production function is y=3KL. If they are 30 units of capital and 40 units of labor, what is aggregate output?
Use the Cobb-Douglas production function to show that when the number of units of labor and the number of units of capital are doubled, the production level is also doubled.
Productivity is best defined as Group of answer choices the quantity of goods and services produced in the economy. the stock of equipment and structures used to produce goods and services. the extra amount of goods and services produced by the last worker hired. the quantity of goods and services produced from each unit of labor.
Question 24 Consider the following production function when K is fixed. (This is a description of the figure: it shows a two-axis graph; in the horizontal axis we measure labor and in the vertical axis we measure output, in this case articles as in the production function of a newspaper; the graph of the production function, for the given level of capital K fixed, is composed of two line segments; the first goes from the origin to the point (10,30); the second, starting from 10 on, is a horizontal line; it is also shown that the production for five units of labor is 15). Can we say that the production function satisfies the law of decreasing marginal returns of labor?True False
“In the production process, it may be expected that a progressive increase in the input results in a similar increase in the output”. Comment
An increase in the number of hours worked would shift the production function upward shift the production function downward shift the production function outward not shift the production function
