Answer
Option 4
Yes, since average varible cost would decrease
The marginal product of labor is higher than the average product
of labor means the marginal cost is decreasing and the average
total and average varible cost also decreasing which increases
profit at the higher level of production as a firm maximize profit
where MR=MC and the MC are upward sloping at the output
level.

Assume that a firm uses capital as a fixed factor of production and uses labor as a variable factor. The marginal product of labor at first increases and then decreases with the amount of labor. (a) Using a correctly labeled graph, draw and identify the form’s average total cost curve (ATC), average variable cost curve (AVC), and marginal cost curve (MC). d) Draw a long-run average total cost curve that has a region of economies of scale followed by a...

Lauren owns a factory that produces softball gloves. The table
below represents her factories productivity and costs when various
numbers of workers are hired.
Graphically illustrate her total, marginal and average product
curves as well as her marginal and average variable cost curves.
Show where the inflection point lies, where production is maximized
and what number of workers corresponds to the highest average and
marginal product as well as the lowest average variable and
marginal cost.

Suppose that a firm has only one variable input, labor, and firm output is zero when labor is zero
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?$66, $76, $906, $946

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm produces output using capital services (a fixed input) and labour services (a variable input). At its profit-maximizing level of output, the marginal product of labour is equal to the average product of labour. a. What is the relationship between this firm's average variable cost and its marginal cost? O Average variable cost is higher than marginal cost O Average variable cost equals marginal cost O Average variable cost is less than marginal...

Assume the short run variable
cost function for Japanese beer is VCequals0.5q Superscript 0.8. If
the fixed cost (F) is $600 and the firm produces 400 units,
determine the total cost of production (C), the variable cost of
production (VC), the marginal cost of production (MC), the
average fixed cost of production (AFC), and the average variable
cost of production (AVC). What happens to these costs if the firm
increases its output to 500? Assuming the firm produces 400
units,...
