Introduction to Production and Resource Use Chapter 6 Topics of Discussion Conditions of perfect competition Classification of inputs Important production relationships (assume one variable input in this chapter) Assessing short run business costs Economics of short run decisions Conditions for Perfect Competition Homogeneous products No barriers to entry or exit Large number of sellers Perfect information Page 109 Classification of Inputs Land: includes renewable (forests) and nonrenewable (minerals) resources Labor: all owner and hired labor services, excluding management Capital: manufactured goods such as fuel, chemicals, tractors and buildings Management: production decisions designed to achieve specific economic goal Page 110 Production Function Output = f(labor | capital, land, and management) Start with one variable input Page 112 Production Function Output = f(labor | capital, land, and management) Start with one variable input assume all other inputs fixed at their current levels… Page 112 Coordinates of input and output on the TPP curve Page 112 Total Physical Product (TPP) Curve Variable input Page 113 Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns “As successive units of a variable input are added to a production process with the other inputs held constant, the marginal physical product (MPP) eventually declines” Page 113 Other Physical Relationships The following derivations of the TPP curve play An important role in decision-making: Marginal Physical = Output ÷ Input Product Pages 114-115 Other Physical Relationships The following derivations of the TPP curve play An important role in decision-making: Marginal Physical = Output ÷ Input Product Average Physical Product = Output ÷ Input Pages 114-115 Change in output as you increase inputs Page 112 Total Physical Product (TPP) Curve Marginal physical product is .45 as labor is increased from 16 to 20 output input Page 113 Output per unit input use Page 112 Total Physical Product (TPP) Curve Average physical product is .31 if labor use is 26 output input Page 113 Plotting the MPP curve Change in output associated with a change in inputs Page 114 Marginal Physcial Product Change from point A to point B on the production function is an MPP of 0.33 Page 114 Plotting the APP Curve Level of output divided by the level of input use Page 114 Average Physical Product Output divided by labor use is equal to 0.19 Page 114 Three Stages of Production Average physical product (yield) is increasing in Stage I Page 114 Three Stages of Production Marginal physical product falls below the average physical product in Stage II Page 114 Three Stages of Production MPP goes negative as shown on Page 112… Page 114 Three Stages of Production Why are Stage I and Stage III irrational? Page 114 Three Stages of Production Productivity rising so why stop??? Output Page 114 falling Three Stages of Production The question therefore is Page 114 where should I operate in Stage II? Economic Dimension We need to account for the price of the product We also need to account for the cost of the inputs Key Cost Relationships The following cost derivations play a key role in decision-making: Marginal cost = total cost ÷ output Page 117-120 Key Cost Relationships The following cost derivations play a key role in decision-making: Marginal cost = total cost ÷ output Average variable = total variable cost ÷ output cost Page 117-120 Key Cost Relationships The following cost derivations play a key role in decision-making: Marginal cost = total cost ÷ output Average variable = total variable cost ÷ output cost Average total = total cost ÷ output cost Page 117-120 From TPP curve on page 113 Page 118 Fixed costs are $100 no matter the level of production Page 118 Column (2) divided by column (1) Page 118 Costs that vary with level of production Page 118 Column (4) divided by column (1) Page 118 Column (2) plus column (4) Page 118 Change in column (6) associated with a change in column (1) Page 118 Column (6) divided by column (1) or Page 118 or column (3) plus column (5) Page 118 Let’s graph the cost series in this table Plotted cost relationships from table 6.3 on page 118 Plotting costs for levels of output Page 119 Now let’s assume this firm can sell its product for $45/unit Key Revenue Concepts Notice the price in column (2) is identical to marginal revenue in column (7). What about average revenue, or AR? What do you see if you divide total revenue in column (3) by output in column (1)? Yes, $45. Thus, P = MR = AR under perfect competition. Page 122 Let’s see this in graphical form $45 P=MR=AR Profit maximizing level of output, where MR=MC 11.2 Page 123 Average Profit = $17, or AR – ATC P=MR=AR $45-$28 $28 Page 123 Grey area represents total economic profit if the price is $45… P=MR=AR 11.2 ($45 - $28) = $190.40 Page 123 P=MR=AR Zero economic profit if price falls to PBE. Firm would only produce output OBE . AR-ATC=0 Page 123 P=MR=AR Economic losses if price falls to PSD. Firm would shut down below output OSD Page 123 Where is the firm’s supply curve? P=MR=AR Page 123 Marginal cost curve above AVC curve? P=MR=AR Page 123 Key Revenue Concepts The previous graph indicated that profit is maximized at 11.2 units of output, where MR ($45) equals MC ($45). This occurs between lines G and H on the table above, where at 11.2 units of output profit would be $190.40. Let’s do the math…. Page 122 Doing the math….

The Firm’s Supply Curve $ MC 45 ATC 28 AVC 18 P=10 7.0 8.6 10.3 11.2 Q Now let’s look at the demand for a single input: Labor Key Input Relationships The following input-related derivations also play a key role in decision-making: Marginal value = marginal physical product × price product Page 124 Key Input Relationships The following input-related derivations also play a key role in decision-making: Marginal value = marginal physical product × price product Marginal input = wage rate, rental rate, etc. cost Page 124 D Wage rate represents the MIC for labor C B E F G 5 H I J Page 125 Use a variable input like labor up to the point where the value received from the market equals the cost of another unit of input, or MVP=MIC D C B E F G 5 H I J Page 125 D The area below the green lined MVP curve and above the green lined MIC curve represents cumulative net benefit. C B E F G 5 H I J Page 125 MVP = MPP × $45 Page 125 Profit maximized where MVP = MIC or where MVP =$5 and MIC = $5 Page 125 – = Marginal net benefit in column (5) is equal to MVP in column (3) minus MIC of labor in column (4) Page 125 The cumulative net benefit in column (6) is equal to the sum of successive marginal net benefit in column (5) Page 125 For example… $25.10 = $9.85 + $15.25 $58.35 = $25.10 + $33.25 Page 125 – = Cumulative net benefit is maximized where MVP=MIC at $5 Page 125 D If you stopped at point E on the MVP curve, for example, you would be foregoing all of the potential profit lying to the right of that point up to where MVP=MIC. C B E F G 5 H I J Page 125 D If you went beyond the point where MVP=MIC, you begin incurring losses. C B E F G 5 H I J Page 125 A Final Thought One final relationship needs to be made. The level of profit-maximizing output (OMAX) in the graph on page 123 where MR = MC corresponds directly with the variable input level (LMAX) in the graph on page 125 where MVP = MIC. Going back to the production function on page 112, this means that: OMAX = f(LMAX | capital, land and management) In Summary… Features of perfect competition Factors of production (Land, Labor, Capital and Management) Key decision rule: Profit maximized at output MR=MC Key decision rule: Profit maximized where MVP=MIC Chapter 7 focuses on the choice of inputs to use and products to produce….
