Explanation / Answer

(A)

Marginal product (MP) = Change in output (Q) / Change in number of trainers (L)

It is seen that from 4th trainer onward, MP is gradually decreasing. This is explained by the law of diminishing marginal productivity which means that as more and more trainers are added, output produced by the last trainer, i.e. MP, decreases.

(B)

Total cost (TC) = Fixed cost (FC) + Variable cost (VC) = $3,000 + $400 x L
