Describe the shape of the marginal product curve and the marginal cost curve.
Answer

Marginal Product = Output X - Output X-1
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Marginal Cost = Total Cost X - Total Cost X-1
Marginal Product curve

The marginal product curve increases at the inital stage , later its starts decreasing as output increases
Marginal Cost

The Marginal Cost is fixed at $5, i.r it is in cosntant returns to scale.

5. The relationship between marginal product and marginal cost Musashil's Big Burger is a small restaurant that sells hamburgers. For Musashi, grills are a fixed input and workers are variable inputs. Assume that labor is Musashi's only variable cost. Musashi has a fixed cost of $50 per day and pays each of his workers $50 per day. Musashi's total output schedule and total cost at each level of labor are presented in the...
