Widgets R Us currently has a fixed amount of capital, which costs the firm $1,000. Since this capital cannot be changed at will, the only way to vary the output of widgets is to change the number of workers. The table helow shows the total output of widgets when different numbers of workers are assigned to a widget press each day. If no workers are working a press, the utput for that press is zero.

Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using one worker and two units of capital. If the firm has an extra worker, say two workers, and no more capital, it still can produce only one unit of output. Similarly, an extra unit of capital does the firm no good.a) Draw the isoquants for this production function.b) Draw the total product, average product, and marginal product of labor curves (you will...
