2) Ajax Manufacturing has a fixed scale of plant with the levels of total product given in the table for different levels of labor. Complete the table by calculating the average product and marginal product.
3. The table has the total product schedule for an imaginary good called a widget. Each unit of labor costs $25 and the total cost of capital is $100.
a)Use this information given to calculate FC, VC TC, AFC , AVC, ATC and MC.
b) Suppose that labor becomes twice as expensive (so that one unit of labor now costs $50) but nothing else changes. calculate FC, VC TC, AFC , AVC, ATC and MC. If you plotted the cost curves, how would the increased wage rate affect the cost curves?
