A common name for fixed cost is overhead. If you divide fixed cost by the quantity of output produced, you get average fixed cost. Supposed fixed cost is 1,000. What does the average fixed cost curve look like? Use your response to explain what spreading the overhead means.
If 15 workers produce 100 license plates, 16 workers produce 120 license plates, and 17 workers produce 130-license plates, then O diminishing marginal returns have not set in because the marginal product is positive O the marginal product of the seventeenth worker is 130 O diminishing marginal returns must begin with the sixteenth worker O the marginal product of the sixteenth worker is greater than the marginal product of the seventeenth worker O the marginal product of the fifteenth worker must be 20

Tom borrowed Php500,000 from her parents to open a spa. He pays her parents a 5% yearly return on the money they lent her. Her other yearly fixed costs equal Php150,000 and his variable costs equal Php200,000. In her first year, Tom had a total of 2,000 customers at a price of Php300/customer. Tom's total fixed cost is 675000 - WRONG ANS 3. A firm uses labor and capital to produce an output. The hourly cost of labor is 10 and the hourly cost of capital is 50.

A small specialty cookie company, whose only variable input is labor, finds that the average worker can produce 100 cookies per day, the cost of the average worker is $32 per day, and the price of a cookie is $1.00. Is the firm maximizing profit? The firm O A. is not maximizing profit because the marginal revenue product of labor is greater than the wage. O B. is not maximizing profit because the marginal revenue product of labor is less than the wage. O C. is maxinmizing profit because the marginal product of labor is greater than the wage. O D. is not maximizing profit because the price of the output is not equal to the wage. O E. is not maximizing profit because the marginal product of labor is greater than the wage.

You are an employer seeking to fill a vacant position on an assembly line. Are you more concemed with the average product of labor or the marginal product of labor for the last person hired? O A. The marginal product of labor because to maximize profits, you will want to hire labor up to but not exceeding the point where labor begins to experience diminishing marginal returns. O B. The average product of labor because productivity is maximized when average product is maximized This determines the output where revenue and profit are maximized. O C. The average product of labor because to maximize profits, you will want to hire labor up to but not exceeding the point where labor begins to experience diminishing marginal returns O D. The marginal product because it measures the effect the last person hired has on output, or total product. This helps determine the revenue generated by hiring an another worker, which can be compared with the cost of hiring an another worker
