Marginal product curve?
A marginal product curve is a visual presentation that demonstrates the relationship between the marginal product and the quantity of its input. All other inputs are fixed.
What are increasing marginal returns?
ncreasing marginal returns mean that marginal product is greater for each subsequent unit of a variable input than it was for the previous unit. Decreasing marginal returns, as such, mean that marginal product is less for each subsequent unit of a variable input than it was for the previous unit.
Firms will employ an input up to the point where?
The input's price equals its marginal revenue product
What is marginal output?
The change in total output, when one more input is added/deducted. If Total Product of current period 'n', then the Marginal Product [Marginal Output]= Tn - Tn-1. It is the marginal change in the total output when one unit of input say labour or capital is added.
What is extra output generated by one more unit of variable input?
Marginal Product

Draw a diagram with marginal product and average productExplain the relationship between marginal product and average product?
Marginal product is any input in the production process is the increase in the quantity of output obtained from on additional unit of the input. Average product is the output produced when one more unit of the variable factor is employed The relationship is state as: If labour's marginal product is exceed its average product that means labour's average product will be rising. Labour's average product will be falling. If labour's marginal product is less than its average product. If labour's marginal product is equal its average product and the average product will reach the minimum value at the point.
What is extra output generated by one more unit of variable input?
Marginal Product
The increase in output created by the addition of one more unit of input is called?
marginal product of labor (:
When a firm's only variable input is labor then what does the slope of the production function measures?
marginal product of labor
What does marginal revenue products refers to?
The marginal product is the output produced by one more unit of a given input. Found at http://www.econmodel.com/classic/terms/marginal_product.htm
What is meant by marginal cost?
Marginal product is the result of an additional output of production. An example is adding an hour to an employeeâ??s work schedule to produce 100 more cookies. Marginal cost is the cost associated with producing an additional output. An example is paying an employee the overtime rate per hour for producing 100 more cookies.
What is the relationship between marginal productivity and marginal cost?
The marginal product curve is 'n' shaped because of the law of diminishing returns. As you add more units of a variable factor, at first, the marginal product rises, (this is because the fixed factor is under-utilised, so adding more units of the variable factor will increase the output from each additional unit). But after a certain point, the marginal product begins to fall, as the fixed factor input becomes diluted amongst workers and so you get less from each additional unit of the variable factor. For an example, re-read the above paragraph and replace the word variable factor with labour and fixed factor with capital. The marginal cost curve is the inverse of the marginal product curve - hence it is shaped like a 'u' or a 'Nike tick'. This is because if your marginal product is high - then your marginal costs are low. For example, if a firm must pay electricity for the time it takes to produce a unit, if the firm can produce the unit quicker (i.e. has a high marginal product) then the cost of electricity will be lower. Hence the inverse relationship between marginal cost and marginal product.
A firm will maximize profits by employing the quantity of each input where the marginal does what?
revenue equals the price of each input
