When Brenda’s Pastry employs three workers, total output is 6
dozen pastries per hour. After Brenda hires a fourth
worker, the number of pastries produced increases to 7 dozen per
hour. Which of the following is true about the marginal
product (MP) and average product (AP) of labor for Brenda’s
Pastry?

Because the MP of the fourth worker is greater than the AP of
three workers, AP must fall when the fourth worker is hired
Because the MP...

The Per-worker production function shows the relationship
between the amount of output per worker and capital per worker.
This curve is not linear but increases at a decreasing rate.
Why?
If a worker has more and more capital, the additional capital
will not be used as well as the previous capital, resulting in a
smaller increase in output than previous units of capital.
Too much capital will result in inefficient production
If a worker has more capital, that worker will...

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?
