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.
