What shapes would you generally expect a total product curve and a marginal product curve to have?
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?
LUSC Method of producing that output The following graph shows the marginal and average product curves for labor, the firm's only variable input. The monthly wage for labor is $2,000. Fixed cost is $120,000. None of these options are correct.
