Graphical or mathematical representation showing how varying input amounts, like workers, affect total output produced. Marginal Product of Labor
Increase in output resulting from hiring one additional worker, holding all other inputs constant. Specialization
Process where workers focus on specific tasks, boosting productivity when more employees are added initially. Law of Diminishing Returns
Principle stating that adding more variable inputs to fixed resources eventually yields smaller increases in output. Fixed Cost
Expense, such as equipment, that remains unchanged regardless of the level of production or output. Variable Cost
Expense that rises as more output is produced, typically associated with hiring additional workers. Total Cost
Sum of all fixed and variable expenses incurred in the production process for a given output level. Average Total Cost
Per-unit expense found by dividing total production costs by the number of goods produced. Output
Total quantity of goods produced by a firm, such as the number of pizzas made in a day. Input
Resource, like labor or equipment, used in the production process to generate goods or services. Productivity
Measure of how efficiently inputs are converted into outputs, often influenced by worker skills and resource allocation. Wage
Payment made to workers for their labor, typically calculated on a daily or hourly basis. Specialization
Division of tasks among workers, allowing each to focus on a specific role, increasing efficiency in early production stages. Cost Behavior
Pattern of how expenses change as production volume increases or decreases, influenced by input productivity. Resource Allocation
Distribution of inputs among various uses in the production process to maximize output and efficiency.
