The table below shows data for the production of Avocados for an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. Suppose that the price of Avocados is $3. Number of workers Number of Avocados 0 0 10 150 20 270 30 360 40 420 50 450   Given this data, complete the table: Quantity of avocados Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) Value of the Marginal Product of Labor (VMPL)

Suppose that Tim runs his own lawn care service and that his firm is competitive in the lawn care industry. He has a fixed number of tools that can be used to maintain a yard, but he needs to determine the productivity gained from hiring various numbers of workers per week. Which of the following statements best represents the idea behind the marginal product of labor ( MPL )? When Tim hires more workers, he can mow more lawns per week, but at a decreasing rate. If Tim hires twice as many workers per week, he can mow twice as many lawns per week. If Tim buys one more lawn mower, he can mow 13 more lawns per week. If Tim hires an additional worker per week, he can mow 11 more lawns per week. The following graph portrays the weekly total product curve for lawn mowing given a fixed amount of capital and varying labor inputs. (Note: Each black point (plus symbol) represents a point on the total product curve.) 100 90 во 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 xxxx_ Total Product ° 0 1 2 4 5 7 8 10 LABOR…

Imagine you've been hired as the manager of a firm producing a certain product X. The following schedule shows the total production per week of product X Additionally, assume each unit of product X sells for $10 per unit, workers can be hired in a competitive labor market for $500 per week, and the rental price of a unit of capital is $R per week Capital (K) Quantity (Q) Labor (L) 0 5 0 1 5 40 2 5 105 3 5 170 4 5 245 5 5 325 6 5 410 7 5 500 8 5 595 9 5 695 10 5 760 11 5 810 12 5 855 13 5 890 14 5 915 15 5 930 a. How many workers should be hired? To answer this question, append to the above table three new columns similar to columns (3), (4) and (5) of Table 5-2 in your textbook. Explain your final answer!

1. Suppose a short-run production function is described as Q40L 0.04L2 where L is the number of labors used each hour.

Answer the question on the basis of the following output data for a firm. Assume that the amounts of all nonlabor resources are fixed. Number of Workers. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Units of Output 0 38 85 150 220 320 380 The marginal product of the fourth worker is

Graph the demand for labor as a function of the wage using this data. What happens to the number of workers when wage goes up? How many workers will be hired and how many cookies made at a wage of 40.50? Please give me the equations so I can understand how to create this graph.

The following table shows how apple output changes as additional apple pickers are hired per day. Calculate marginal physical product, total revenue, and marginal revenue product. The price of apples is $4 per basket. Daily Apple Production Marginal Marginal Physical Revenue Number of Apple Product Total Product Pickers Output (baskets Revenue (dollars (pickers) (baskets) per picker) (dollars) per worker) 4. 2 10 3. 15 4 19 22 Refer to the Daily Apple Production table. If the price of apples increases to $10 per basket and the equilibrium wage is $40 per day, how many apple pickers will the firm hire? Refer to the Daily Apple Production table. If the price of apples increases to $10 per basket and the equilibrium wage is $40 per day, how many apple pickers will the firm hire? Multiple Choice 2 pickers 3 pickers 4 pickers 5 pickers

Consider a company operating in a competitive market. The company sells units of output and receives a price of $20 per unit, and pays a daily market wage of $330 to each worker it employs. In the following table, complete the column for the value of the marginal product of labor (VMPL) at each quantity of workers. Labor Output Marginal Product of Labor Value of the Marginal Product of Labor (Number of workers) (Units of output) (Units of output) (Dollars) 0 0     20   1 20 19   2 39 18   3 57 15   4 72 12   5 84       On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the firm's labor demand curve. Then, use the orange line (square symbols) to show the wage rate. (Note: If you cannot place the wage rate at the level you want, move the two end points individually.) Hint: Remember to plot each point halfway between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the…
