Select one:
a. Average cost
b. Fixed cost
c. Wage rate
d. Price of the good
The correct answer is: c)
Reason: by definition,
Marginal Cost = wage / Marginal Product of labor

Your company identifies the amount of output where marginal revenue equals marginal cost; at this amount of output, the price is below average total cost but above average variable cost. Your company should expect Select one: a. to break even or earn a normal profit. b. to earn above-normal economic profit. c. to take losses, but should continue in operation in order to avoid a greater loss of fixed costs. d. to take such large losses that it should cease...
26.1 A monopolist produces a good using only one factor, labor. There are constant returns to scale in production, and the demand for the monopolist's product is described by a downward- sloping straight line with slope -1. The monopolist faces a horizontal labor supply curve. If the monopolist chooses output to maximize profits, then the: (a) marginal cost of labor to the monopolist exceeds the wage. (b) marginal product of labor times price of output equals the wage. (c) marginal...
28) The law of diminishing returns, as it applies to labor, means that A) the marginal product of labor will eventually be a horizontal line at zero. B) the average product of labor starts to decline before the marginal product of labor. C) total output eventually decreases. D) the average product of labor increases at a decreasing rate. E) the marginal product of labor eventually decreases as more labor is added with capital held fixed. 29) A firm's short-run labor...
