In order to reduce total operating costs, the owner leases 5 additional printers and fires 5 workers. After these changes, the salary of each worker increases by $30, the cost of using each of the printers (both new and old) remains constant, and the total cost of labor and capital decreases to $2,900.

- 13. Suppose you have a production technology given by f(x1, x2) = min{2x₁, x2} and you are producing at the point where x₁ = 10 and x₂ = 20. (a) Explain in words what we mean (generally) by the ‘marginal product' of an input in production. (b) For the production technology in this question and the initial point x₁ = 10 and x2 = 20, what is the marginal product of a small increase in input 1? (c) Suppose input 2 increases and you are now at the initial point x₁ = 10 and x2 = 30. Relative to your answer in part (b), does the marginal product of input 1 decrease, increase, or stay constant? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardCalculate the value of total cost when average cost is $35 and the no of inputs employed is 5arrow_forwardIf the cost of an oven is $500, what is the marginal product per dollar spent on capital for the second oven?
