Suppose that a firm has only one variable input, labor, and firm
output is zero when labor is zero. When the firm hires 6 workers it
produces 90 units of output. Fixed cost of production are $6 and
the variable cost per unit of labor is $10. The marginal product of
the seventh unit of labor is 4. Given this information, what is the
total cost of production when the firm hires 7 workers? (Show your

T/F: companies should use average cost to
determine how much product they should produce?
A company wants to expand production. It currently has 20
workers who share eight copiers. Two months ago, the firm added tow
copiers, and output increased by 100,000 pages per day. One month
ago, they added five workers, and productivity increased by 50,000
pages per day. Copiers cost about twice as much as workers. Would
you recommend they hire another employee or by another copier?
