2 1.Productivity 2.Costs of Production

3 Amount of goods and services produced per unit of input How efficiently their resources are being used in production

4 TOTAL PRODUCT - product a company makes in a given time period, with given amount of input Also called Total output

5 Marginal Product – Change in output by adding one more unit of input Product Schedule (87)

6 What does changing level of input have on total and marginal product Add (one) input productivity increases to a point Eventually, it will result in negative marginal product

7 Workers, machines. Ect.

8 1.Increasing Marginal Returns 2.Diminishing Marginal Returns 3.Negative Marginal Returns

9 Add worker = Total product levels increase

10 At some point, adding more workers decreases marginal product Page 87

11 At certain amount of labor input the total product goes down

12 Fixed Costs Variable Costs Total Costs Marginal Costs

13 Fixed Cost – Production cost does not change as level of output changes Rent Wear and Tear on Machines

14 Variable Costs – cost change as level of output changes More ducks = more workers (91)

15 Total Costs – Fixed costs plus variable costs

16 Marginal Costs – additional costs of producing one more unit of output
