question 101

Multiple Choice

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 \(\mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\) increases in \(\mathrm { L }\), then \(\mathrm { MP } _ { \mathrm { L } } > \mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\).
• B) When average product is decreasing in labor, marginal product is less than average product. That is, if \(\mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\) decreases in \(\mathrm { L }\), then \(\mathrm { MP } _ { \mathrm { L } } < \mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\).
• C) The relationship between \(\mathrm { MP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\) and \(\mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\) 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 \(\mathrm { AP } _ { \mathrm { L } }\) is at a maximum, then marginal product is equal to average product.
