In a certain textile firm, labor is the only short term variable input. The manager notices that the marginal product of labor is the same for each unit of labor, which implies that
the average product of labor is always greater than the marginal product of labor.
the average product of labor is always less than the marginal product of labor.
the average product of labor is always equal to the marginal product of labor.
as more labor is used, the average product of labor falls.
Suppose that capital and labor are perfect complements in a one-to-one ratio in a firm’s production function. The firm is currently at an efficient production level, employing an equal number of machines and workers. Suppose the cost of labor were to double and the cost of capital were to fall by half. If the firm wanted to produce the previous level of output, the firm would hire
more labor and less capital.
less labor and more capital
