Least cost input combo of labor and capital


Various levels of output for employment:

1. Calculate the MPPL schedule

2. Calculate the marginal physical product of labor (MPPL) and marginal cost of labor (MRCL) with a fixed wage of $5 per hour.

3. Assuming capital is constant, with 3 machines and MPPK/MRCK = 30, what is the least cost input combo of labor and capital? How much output is produced?

Workers    Output
1    500
2    800
3    2000
4    2600
5    2900
6    3100

I have calculated MP:

Workers    MP
1    500
2    400
3    666.67
4    650
5    580
6    516.67
