A commercial fisherman notices the following relationship between hours spent fishing and the quantity of fish caught:
Hours
Quantity of Fish
(Pounds)
0 0
1 11
2 20
3 25
4 28
5 30
Complete the following table with the marginal product of each hour spent fishing.
Hours

Graph #1 

On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to graph the fisherman's production function.

(graph #1 blue point = Prodution function) 

The production function becomes ( flatter , steeper ) ?    as the number of hours spent fishing increases.
 
The fisherman has a fixed cost of $12 (his pole). The opportunity cost of his time is $6 per hour.
 
Graph #2 
On the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to graph the fisherman's total-cost curve at the following quantities of fish: 0, 11, 20, 25, 28, and 30 pounds. ( green triangle symbol = total -cost curve )
 
True or False: The total-cost curve is increasing and convex because there are diminishing returns to fishing time.
