Question

(5) Identify the truthfulness of the following statements. I. When the marginal product of labor is falling, the average product of labor is falling. II. When the marginal product curve lies above the average product curve, then average product is rising. (a) Both I and II are true. (b) Both I and II are false. (c) I is true; II is false. (d) I is false; II is true. (6) If marginal product is greater than average product (a) total product must be increasing. (b) marginal product must be decreasing. (c) marginal product must be increasing. (d) average product may be increasing or decreasing. (7)Which one of these is false when compared to the relationship between marginal and average product? (a) When average product is increasing in labor, marginal product is greater than average product. That is, if APL increases in L, then MPL > APL. (b) When average product is decreasing in labor, marginal product is less than average product. That is, if APL decreases in L, then MPL < APL. (c) The relationship between MPL and APL is not the same as the relationship between the marginal of anything and the average of anything. (d) When average product neither increases nor decreases in labor because we are at a point at which APL is at a maximum, then marginal product is equal to average product. (8)A production function:
