Draw a production function that exhibits diminishing marginal product of labor. Draw the associated total cost curve. (In both cases, be sure to label the axes) Explain the shapes of the two curves you have drawn.

Production Function: The production function is a graph that shows the relationship between the quantity of inputs used in production (in this case, labor) and the quantity of output produced. To draw a production function that exhibits diminishing marginal Show more…

Draw a diagram, including demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and any other curves necessary, to illustrate each of the following two situations for a monopolistic competitor: a. The firm is suffering a loss, and it should shut down in the short run. b. The firm is suffering a loss, but it should stay open in the short run.
Suppose that a firm has a fixed-proportions pro. duction function, in which one unit of output is produced using one worker and two units of capital. If the firm has an extra worker and no more capital, it still can produce only one unit of output. Similarly, one more unit of capital does the firm no good. a. Draw the isoquants for this production function. b. Draw the total product, average product, and marginal product of labor curves (you will probably want to use two diagrams) for this production function.
