The wages are variable cost.
For 25 bushels, only one labor is required.
Hence variable cost =$150.
The correct option is $150.

is measured in bushels. A firm uses two inputs to produce wheat per day, workers (L) and bed planters (K). Its production function is 9 - KL, where Bed planters are rented at $100 per day and each worker is hired at $50 per day. Suppose K is free to vary i. Derive the firm's long-run cost function. Show workings. 1. Compute the long-run average costs of producing 10 bushels. Show working Ill. Is this firm experiencing diseconomies of scale?...

Pigs Workers The graph above shows the production function of a small farm that raises pigs. Refer to the graph to answer the following questions: • If the farm employs 1 worker then it can produce pigs. To produce 80 pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s). Point B on the production function tells us that to produce pigs the farm needs to hire worker(s) • The shape of the production function tells us that between points A and B...

– labor – to produce two goods: soybeans and health
care. The U.S. has 100 million workers at
first. Each worker can produce either 10 bushels of
soybeans or 2 units of health care each day.
On the graph below, draw the nation’s production
