Kaliah's Pizzas is a takeout-only pizza parlor servicing the college campus of Syracuse that specializes in vegan pizzas. Kaliah's small shop has barely enough room for customers to stand and wait, let alone the five pizza ovens necessary to keep up with the hungry student customers. Kaliah signed a lease renting both the five ovens and the storefront for the next year. Due to the terms of the lease and the building's size constraint, Kaliah is unable to change the store's number of pizza ovens in the short run. However, Kaliah does face a decision regarding the number of employees to schedule on a weekly basis. Every Sunday, Kaliah contacts the staff to communicate the amount of workers needed on each day of the upcoming week. In the short run, the store employees are inputs, and pizza ovens are inputs. The following table presents Kaliah's daily production schedule. Fill in the blanks to complete the Marginal Product of Labor column for each worker. On the following graph, plot Kaliah's production function using the green points (triangle symbol). Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. Hint: Be sure to plot the first point at (0,0). Suppose that Kaliah's only variable cost is labor. Assume that Kaliah faces daily fixed costs of $20 and pays all workers the same daily wage of $30. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Kaliah's total cost curve on the following graph using the quantities from the preceding table. True or False: The shape of the production function reflects the law of increasing marginal returns. True False
