Using the 4-point curved line drawing tool, draw the marginal product curve, and label this line 'MP'. 2.) Using the 4-point curved line drawing tool, draw the average product curve, and label this line 'AP'. (For your control points, use 1,3, 4, and 7 units of labor.) Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. The marginal cost curve will intersect the average variable cost curve at its minimum maximum point, which occurs when total product equals nothing units.

Suppose that hubert, an economist from an am talk radio program, and kate, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the west coast, are arguing over government bailouts. the following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: kate: to recent financial crises, the concept of bailouts is a hot topic for debate among everyone these days. hubert: indeed, it’s gotten crazy! a government bailout of severely distressed financial firms is unnecessary because free markets will properly price assets. kate: i don’t know about that. without a bailout of severely distressed financial firms, the economy will experience a deep recession. the disagreement between these economists is most likely due todifferences in scientific judgments . despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree? business managers can raise profit more easily by reducing costs than by raising revenue. central banks should focus more on maintaining low unemployment than on maintaining low inflation. employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations
