Suppose that my daily marginal benefit from drinking coffee increases by $2 per cup. Which of the following represents the effect of this on my coffee demand curve? a) b) c) d) A monopsonist will buy ___________ units of input than a buyer in perfect competition, and will pay ___________ per unit. a fewer; more b fewer; less c more; less d more; more You are currently using three printing presses and five employees to print 100 sales manuals per hour. If the MRTS at this point is 0.5 (capital is on the vertical axis of the isoquant map), then you would be willing to exchange _________ employees for one more printing press in order to maintain current output. a 4 b 0.5 c 0.25 d 2

1. When a company had two employees, it's total output was 100 units. When it had three employees, it's total output was 160 units. The average product associated with two employees was ______ units. Select one: a. 33.3 b. 80 c. 100 d. 50 2. When a company had two employees, it's total output was 100 units. When it had three employees, it's total output was 160 units. The marginal product associated with the third employee was ______ units. Select one: a. 60 b. 160 c. 53.3 d. 100 3. Why does marginal product eventually diminish in the short run? Select one: a. The short run is too short an amount of time to produce very much output. b. Increasing amounts of variable input will run up against the constraint of the fixed input and will be less productive. c. The fixed input is increasing much faster relative to the variable input, so productivity cannot keep up.

Marginal cost of Coffee The manager of a restaurant found that the cost to produce 100 cups of coffee is $\$ 11.02,$ while the cost to produce 400 cups is $\$ 40.12$ . Assume the cost $C(x)$ is a linear function of $x,$ the number of cups produced. a. Find a formula for $C(x)$ b. What is the fixed cost? c. Find the total cost of producing 1000 cups. d. Find the total cost of producing 1001 cups. e. Find the marginal cost of the 1001st cup. f. What is the marginal cost of any cup and what does this mean to the manager?
