The table describes the production function of John's T-shirt firm. John can hire as many workers as he wants for $75 per day and can sell as many T-shirts as he wants for $5 each. \table[[Workers, Output ], [3,60], [4,80], [5, 105], [6, 125], [7,140], [8,150]] a) Given the production information above, do each of the following. (i) Draw a graph showing the firm's demand and supply curves for labor. (ii) Indicate how many workers John will hire. b) Explain how John will determine the number of workers to hire.

Question: Suppose the firm's only variable input is labor. Using the table, what level of output corresponds to where the firm's production fuction begins to rise at a diminishing rate? Also, at what level of output would the firm's average product of labor (APL) be maximized? Explain.
Consider the production function of the firm below. Which of the following is NOT true? The marginal product of labor at B is 70 units. The total product is increasing as inputs to production increase. The marginal product of capital at point D is 50. The marginal products of both labor and capital are always increasing.

Explain the concept of economies of scale. Identify two reasons why economies of scale exist. 1-2 paragraphs
1. Suppose the production function is Q = 8L + 15K where Q is the quantity of output, L is the quantity of labor used in production, and K is the quantity of capital used in production. What can be said about this production function? It has Decreasing Returns to Scale It has Constant Returns to Scale It has Increasing Returns to Scale There isn’t enough information to determine the Returns to Scale for this production function 2. You’re dreaming of what to do during a nice summer day. You could mow the lawn which you would pay someone $15 to do for you. You could go for a walk which you value at $11. You could also take a nap and ignore everyone and everything else which you would pay $29 to do. If you to take a nap, what is your opportunity cost? Group of answer choices $29 $26 $15 $11
Q3) A chair manufacturer hires its assembly-line labor for $30 an hour and calculates that the rental cost of its machinery is $15 per hour. Suppose that a chair can be produced using 4 hours of labor or machinery in any combination. Graphically illustrate the isoquant and the two isocost lines for the current combination of labor and capital and for the optimal combination of labor and capital.
