Question 8

Sort the following into the stages of the production function. This is a tough one since some of the labels will be used more than once! I recommend drawing out ALL 3 graphs on a white board or paper, or reference your prior drawings to get a good handle on this!
AP is positive
TP undergoes a rate change
MP = 0
TP is at a maximum
TP is positive
TP increasing but at a slower rate
AP is decreasing
MP is increasing
MP is positive
TP increasing at a fast rate
MP is at a max
AP is increasing
MP is negative
MP is decreasing
TP is decreasing
