6. Suppose you have been assigned to complete a group project with one of your classmates. Each of you can choose to Shirk or Work. If one or more of you chooses to Work, the project is completed and provides each with extra credit valued at 4 payoff units each.

(D) Work if your friend also works.

Given this, we know that the (A) average product of labor must be increasing. (B) average product of labor must be decreasing. (C) marginal product of labor must be increasing. (D) marginal product of labor must be decreasing.

8. Output for a simple production process is given by Q = 2KL, where K denotes capital, and L denotes labor. The price of capital is $25 per unit and capital is fixed at 8 units in the short run. The price of labor is $5 per unit. What is the total fixed cost of producing 80 units of output? (A) $200 (B) $33 (C) $25 (D) $85
