How do we calculate marginal product?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The marginal product (MP) is calculated by dividing the change in the total product by the change in the amount of the input (labor).

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Marginal product 

Marginal product is the amount of product obtained by employing an additional unit of input (say labor).

02

Step 2. Calculation of marginal product

The marginal product (MP) can be obtained by dividing the change in the total product by the change in the amount of the input (labor). Algebraically,

MP=鈭�TP鈭�L

Where, TP = total product, L = labor,鈭�= change.

How does Fixed Cost effect Marginal Cost ? Why is this relationship important ?

Would you consider an interest payment on a loan to a firm an explicit or implicit cost?

A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method choices are:

Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital ; Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital ; Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital

If hiring labor for the winter costs \(100/unit and a unit of capital costs \)400, what is the best production method? What method should the company use if the cost of labor rises to $200/unit?

Are there fixed costs in the long-run? Explain
