Answer to Question 1

The average product of labor is calculated by taking total output (or total product) and dividing by the level of labor.

Answer to Question 2

The firm will produce the first unit using technique B, the second unit using technique A, and be indifferent between techniques A and B for the third unit. TVC are 25, 45, and 60; TC are 40, 60, and 75; MC are 25, 20, and 15
