(a)

MP = TPn - TPn-1

AP = TP/Q

No. of workers       No. of chairs   MP    AP

         1                              10              -       10      

         2                             18             8       9

         3                             24            6       8

         4                             28            4       7

         5                             30            2       6

         6                             28          - 2      4.6

         7                              25          -3       3.5

(b) Yes, this production function exhibits diminishing returns to labor. As we increase the number of laborers, the output per worker falls. we will see that the AP is falling with the rise parturient.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: D. All of the above

The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more inputs of production are added, a time comes in when additional inputs causes no corresponding increase in productivity. At points like this a reduction in the input added would restore productivity.

Reducing the amount of labor obviously is a labour saving technical change. Changes in organizational innovation can also result in changes in productivity.
