Short-Run Production and Marginal and Average Product
Consider the following short-run production function (where
L = variable input, Q = Output): Q = 6L2 – 0.4L3
a. Determine the marginal product function (MPL)
b. Determine the average product function (APL)
c. Find the value of L that maximizes Q
d. Find the value of L at which the marginal product
function takes on its maximum value
e. Find the value of L at which the average product function
takes on its maximum value
