The Production Process• We now turn to consider the other side of the market:
the Producer side• What will we do with this?• We examine the production process, which will allow
us to understand the costs faced by a firm, which in
turn, provides us with an understanding of supplyrelationships• Thus we consider, in sequence:
– Production Theory
– Cost Theory

Central Actor: The Firm• What are firms?
– A way of organizing resources to provide goods and servicesto a market
– An organization specializing in the production of some good or service
• What do firms do? – They engage in production
– Production is a transformation process in which inputs aretransformed into outputs
• Why do they do it?
– For profit

Total Revenue, Total Cost, and Profit
• Total Revenue – The amount a firm receives for the sale of its
output.• Total Cost
– The market value of the inputs a firm uses inproduction.

Costs as Opportunity Costs
• A firm’s cost of production includes all theopportunity costs of making its output of goods and services.
• Explicit and Implicit Costs – A firm’s cost of production include explicit costs
and implicit costs.
• Explicit costs are input costs that require a directoutlay of money by the firm.• Implicit costs are input costs that do not require an
outlay of money by the firm.

Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit
• Economists measure a firm’s economic profit as total revenue minus total cost,including both explicit and implicit costs.
• Accountants measure the accounting profit as the firm’s total revenue minusonly the firm’s explicit costs.

Economic Profit versus Accounting Profit
• When total revenue exceeds both explicitand implicit costs, the firm earns economic profit. – Economic profit is smaller than accounting
profit.

The difference between implicit and explicit is important when we compute theprofit.
When computing the profit accountants only consider the explicit cost andeconomist consider both implicit and explicit cost.
Imagine a firm with the following costs and revenue:
Implicit Cost = 50
Explicit Cost = 30Revenue = 100
Accountant Profit = Revenue – Explicit Cost = 100 – 30 = $70
Economic Profit = Revenue – Explicit Cost – Implicit Cost = 100- 50 -30 = $20
The difference is quite big between accountant and economic profit. For thisclass, whenever we talk about profit we are referring to the economic profit.

• Why do firms exist? – Cheaper
• Specialization arguments (firms, employees)• Lower Transactions Costs• Risk Reduction

What can you say aboutMarginal Product ?
• As the quantity of a variable input(labour, in the example) increases while
all other inputs are fixed, output rises.Initially, output will rise more and morerapidly, but eventually it will slow downand perhaps even decline.
• This is called the LAW OF DIMINISHINGMARGINAL RETURNS

Law of Variable Proportions
a/k/a Law of DiminishingReturns• When total output (production) of a
commodity is increased by adding units of variable input (labor, capital use, etc.) whilequantities of other inputs are held constant,the increases in total production become,after some point, smaller and smaller.
• Total production increases but the size of theincreases diminish.

Total Product
Units of Labor
TP
As more units of the variable resource, labor, are used;the total product continues to increase. After a certain
point, however, total product still increases but at adecreasing rate. Finally, total product actually beginsto decrease.

• The law of diminishing returns assumesall units of variable inputs, workers in thiscase, are of equal quality.
• As each additional worker is added, up topoint C, TP continues to increase. After point C, TP declines.
• Total product goes through 3 phases: Itrises initially at an increasing rate; then itincreases but at a decreasing rate; finallyit reaches a maximum and declines

• Marginal Product is geometrically the slopeof the total product curve.
• Marginal product measures the changes intotal product associated with eachadditional input, in this case workers.
• The three phases of total product are alsoreflected in marginal product.
• Where total product is increasing at an
increasing rate, marginal product is alsorising. Workers added are adding larger and larger amounts to total product.

•Where total product is increasing but at adecreasing rate, marginal product is positive butfalling. Each additional worker adds less to total
product than did preceding workers.
•When total product is at a maximum, marginal product is zero.
•When total product declines, marginal product
becomes negative. Each additional unit of inputadded actually takes away from total product.

The slope of the curve at a point is
K/ L
Now, if the marginal product of an input is defined as thechange in output divided by the change in the input, the slopecan be manipulated to be:
K Q and since K = 1
L Q Q MP K
So the slope is MP L/MP K and is called the MRS (in absolutevalue) and it is a measure of the rate at which inputs can be
substituted and output remains the same.

INCREASING MACHINERY.(3) THE SAME SHIRT CAN BE MADE WITH STILL LESS
LABOURERS BUT WITH A LARGER INCREASE INMACHINERY.

WHILE A RELATIVELY SMALL ADDITION OF MACHINERYFROM M1(MANUAL EMBROIDERY) TO M2(TAILORINGMACHINE EMBROIDERY) ALLOWS THE INPUT OFLABOURERS TO BE REDUCED FROM L1 TO L2. A VERYLARGE INCREASE IN MACHINERY TO M3(COMPUTERISED EMBROIDERY) IS REQUIRED TOFURTHER DECREASE LABOUR FROM L2 TO L3.
THUS SUBSTIUTABILITY OF LABOURERS FORMACHINERY DIMINISHES FROM M1 TO M2 TO M3.

• Assume that there are two resources, Labor (L)and Capital (K).
• The money payments to these resources areWages (W) and Rent (R). An isocost line is similar to the budget line. It’s a set of points with thesame cost, C. Let’s plot K on the y axis and L onthe x axis.
WL + RK = C ; solve for K by first subtracting WL from bothsides.RK = C - WL; next divide both sides by R.K = C/R – ( W/R)L; note that C/R is the y intercept and W/R isthe slope.

COSTS IN THE SHORT RUN
AND IN THE LONG RUN• Because many costs are fixed in the shortrun but variable in the long run, a firm’s
long-run cost curves differ from its short-run cost curves.

Economies and Diseconomies of Scale
• Economies of scale refer to the property wherebylong-run average total cost falls as the quantity of output increases.
• Diseconomies of scale refer to the propertywhereby long-run average total cost rises as thequantity of output increases.
• Constant returns to scale refers to the propertywhereby long-run average total cost stays thesame as the quantity of output increases

Summary
• A firm’s costs reflect its production process.• A typical firm’s production function gets flatter as the
quantity of input increases, displaying the property of diminishing marginal product.
• A firm’s total costs are divided between fixed and variablecosts. Fixed costs do not change when the firm alters thequantity of output produced; variable costs do change asthe firm alters quantity of output produced.

In this section of the semester, we will focus our attention to thebehavior of the firm. That is, we want to know how firms behave andhow firms determine how much to produce.
We first start by defining what is the firm’s only goal.
The firm is in business to make the largest possible profit. In other words, the firm is in business to maximize profits.
Since the firm is in business to maximize profits we need to have adefinition of profits:
Profit = Revenue - Costs
Profits are composed of revenue and costs. The revenue is how muchthe firm receives from the sale of its good. The cost is how much thefirm has to pay to produce the good.
Since, revenue and costs determine profit we need to understand themto know how the firm behaves.
![Page 100: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 100/121
1) Revenue
The firm’s revenue can be written as:
Revenue = Price x Quantity
That is, the revenue is the price charged for the good times the number of goodssold by the firm. Notice that the price is a price per unit. For example is theprice for shirts is $4 and a firm sold 9 units of them, then the firm’srevenue is 4 x 9 = $36.
Now lets set: Price = P and Quantity = Q
We can now re-write the revenue as:
Revenue = P x Q
The revenue will behave in different ways depending of the type of market that thefirms operates. There are four types of markets: competitive, oligopoly,monopoly and monopolistic competition. Since we have not covered thismarkets yet we will leave the discussion of the revenue to when we cover each particular market.
We now move to the other part of the profit: costs.
![Page 101: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 101/121
2) Costs
All firms want to keep low costs because that increases their profit. However,we first need to define what we mean by costs.
In general, there are two types of costs: explicit and implicit.
Explicit Cost: costs that require a monetary payment from the firm (there is anoutlay of money). The firm in this case is actually paying someone.
Implicit Cost: costs that DO NOT require a monetary payment from the firm.The firm in this case is not paying money for a good or service.
Costs = Explicit + Implicit
From now whenever we talk about cost we are consider both implicit andexplicit cost.
![Page 102: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 102/121
The difference between implicit and explicit is important when we compute theprofit.
When computing the profit accountants only consider the explicit cost andeconomist consider both implicit and explicit cost.
Imagine a firm with the following costs and revenue:
Implicit Cost = 50
Explicit Cost = 30Revenue = 100
Accountant Profit = Revenue – Explicit Cost = 100 – 30 = $70
Economic Profit = Revenue – Explicit Cost – Implicit Cost = 100- 50 -30 = $20
The difference is quite big between accountant and economic profit. For thisclass, whenever we talk about profit we are referring to the economic profit.
![Page 103: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 103/121
Before we continue with more definitions of costs we will talk about thetechnology of the firms.
Why?
Because the technology of the firm determines the way costs behave .
For example, cars used to be very expensive at the beginning of the 1900’s,this is because the technology they used. Back then only a handful of peoplecould afford to buy cars. Nowadays, firms use a different type of technology socars are cheaper.
To summarize:
We will study the firm and firms only concern is to maximize profits. Profits arecomposed of revenue and costs. The revenue = P x Q and it depends on the
type of market the firms operates. The costs of the firm depend on thetechnology of the firm, so we will first cover technology and then move on tocosts.

3) Technology
The technology of the firm is how the firms uses “inputs” to produce and “output”.
Inputs are defined as the resources that the firm uses to produce something else.
Examples of inputs are: labor, electricity, raw materials, buildings and so on.
Output is what the firm is actually producing (the final product).
Examples of outputs are: cars, computers, watches, and so on.
For example a firm uses the inputs cotton, labor and sewing machines to produce theoutput t-shirts.
Economists divide inputs into three big categories: capital (K), labor (L) and naturalresources (NR)
Capital (K) = refers to physical machines, building and equipment used in production.
Capital DOES NOT refer to the amount of money the firm has .Labor (L) = refers to the amount of workers.
Natural Resources (NR) = refers to the raw material used in production such as oil,electricity, cotton, etc.
![Page 106: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 106/121
Firms use inputs to produce and output. The relationship between these two is called theproduction function.
Production Function: the relationship between the inputs and output.
That is, the production function tell us how many tons of cotton, labor, sewing machinesand workers are necessary to produce certain amount of t-shirts. Thus, the productionfunction represents the technology of production.
The production function is usually written as follows:
Q = f(K,L,NR)
f(K,L,NR) can be read as “depends on K,L,NR”. Therefore, Q=f(K,L,NR) is read as “theoutput (Q) depends on K, L and NR”. Notice that f(K,L,NR) is NOT a multiplication or addition or anything like that, it just says that Q depends on L, K, and NR.
In order to simplify things we are going to forget about NR, this is just to make our lifeeasier. Therefore, we are going to re-write the production function as:
Q=f(L,K)
That is, output depends on labor and capital.
Production and Time Horizon
![Page 107: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 107/121
In the case of production the time horizon matters. Firms usually have moreconstraints in the long-run than in the short run.In fact, we can say that in long-run everything is possible for the firm while in theshort-run only few things can happen.
For example, imagine that you produce donuts and you get a huge order of donutsfor next week (3 million donuts). Most likely you will not be able to do it.Why?Because you need more machinery more supplies and more workers. You canprobably hire more people relatively easy, say in a couple of days. But bringing newmachinery and equipment and having a bigger shop will take months if not years.
Thus, we usually say that in the short-run some input are variable. This means thatin the short-run this inputs some can be increased or reduced easily (Labor for example) while others (Capital) cannot be changed in the short-run.
However, in the long-run (that is in the distant future) everything is possible. In thatfuture you can hire more workers but you can also build a bigger factory with moreequipment and machinery to make donuts.
Production and Time Horizon
![Page 108: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 108/121
This take us to the main distinction between short and long run:
In the short-run at least one input (usually capital) is fixed (that is one inputdoes not change).
In the long-run ALL inputs are variable (all inputs can be increased or decreased).
From now on, we are going to talk about production in the short-run unlessotherwise is explicitly noted.

8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 109/121
Now, that we understand the production function we are going to look at one numericalexample and then we will expand it later to include costs.
Example:
Consider a firm that produces cars (Q) using capital (K) and Labor (L). Because it is theshort-run we are going to have capital fixed. The following table show the differentamount of labor and capital that yield the corresponding output.
K L Q1 0 0
Notice that when the firm has no Labor it producesnothing but still has one unit of capital because capital is
fixed.
When the firm has one unit of labor and one unit of capital the firm produces 1 unit of output (1 car).
When the firm has two units of labor and one unit of capital the firm produces 3 units of output (3 cars) and soon.

8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 110/121
In addition, notice that output increases from zero to 22 and then decreases as weincrease the number of workers.
MPL is the marginal product of labor. MPL is the amount of output that an extra
unit of labor will produce . The formula for the MPL is the following
K L Q1 0 0
MPL tells the firm how much an extra worker willproduce and therefore it is important information. If youare a firm owner and you are thinking about hiringsomeone you have to consider the MPL of that worker and compare it to how much you will pay the worker tosee if it is worth it (we will talk about this in the topic, but
you can see now how MPL is important).
MPL increases reaches a high point and thendecreases.

8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 111/121
Why does MPL first increases and then decreases?
This happens because of specialization. Consider the following example.
You have a lemonade stand and you have all you equipment and a single table whereyou must prepare the lemonade.
When you hire your first worker, he has to do everything: cut the lemons, squeeze them,pour the water, the sugar, stir, put ice, serve the individual cups and attend customers.Obviously having one worker is better than having no worker.
If you hire a second worker the two workers can specialize a litle bit. One person will takecare of cutting the lemons and squeeze them while other one will pour the water and thesugar and attend customers. This specialization makes the second worker moreproductive. In our previous example, the second worker produces 2 more units of outputwhile the first worker produces only one unit.
As you keep increasing the number of workers the specialize more and more so thateach worker produces more than the previous worker and MPL keeps increasing.
![Page 112: Me Slides Session 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d27af1a28ab4e1ea48bb0/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
8/6/2019 Me Slides Session 3
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 112/121
However, at some point specialization reaches a limit. The limit is reached when youhave a lot of people working in the same table. As you can tell when you have more and
more workers working all in the same table and sharing the same equipment they will bein each other’s way and therefore they will not be as productive.
When this happens the advantage of specialization start to decrease and MPLdecreases. If you adding worker you will actually reach a point when adding an extraworker reduce output. This is a worker that makes everyone slow down and productiondecreases when you hire him. In our previous example, this will be the tenth worker and
no rational firm will hire him.Why specialization reaches a limit?
The reason is that capital is fixed. That is, you can only use one table to producelemonade and only one set of equipment and machinery. However, if you cold have moretables and equipment MPL will never decrease.
Therefore MPL will increase and later decrease in the short-run because in the short-runcapital is fixed.
Finally,the last column of the previous example shows APL which is the average productof labor. The a

Finally, the last column of the previous example shows APL.

APL tells us what is typical amount that a worker will produce.
The formula for APL is the followingQ

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/me-slides-session-3 114/121
Now, that we understand the production process of the firm we can study thefirm’s costs.
We will resume with the previous example we mentioned before. In order to getthe costs of the firm we need to know the price of the inputs. In this case, weneed to know the price of labor and capital.
We will assume that the price of labor is $50 and the price of capital is $20.
Now we need to obtain some definitions of costs:
1) Fixed Cost (FC)= costs that do not vary with the quantity produced.
Examples of fixed costs are buildings, expensive or heavy equipment, bookkeeping and so on.
2) Variable Cost (VC)= costs that vary with the quantity produced.
Examples of variable costs are labor, raw materials, electricity, and so on
4) Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
5) Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = Fixed Cost / Output

5) Average Fixed Cost (AFC) = Fixed Cost / Output
AFC is the typical fixed cost of one unit of output.
6) Average Variable Cost (AVC) = Variable Cost / OutputAVC is the typical fixed cost of one unit of output.
7) Average Total Cost (ATC) = Total Cost / Output
ATC is the typical fixed cost of one unit of output.
Because the TC = VC + FV then ATC= AVC + AFC8) Marginal Cost (MC) = the change in the total cost from producing oneextra unit:
Using all these different definitions of costs and the price of labor and capitalwe obtain the table in the following slide
Change in Total CostMC=
Change in Output
CostsPrice of Labor = $50 Price of Capital = $20

K L Q1 0 01 1 1The previous table can be divided into three parts. The production section, the
total cost section and the per unit section.As it turns out all the relevant information can be obtained by looking at the per unit costs. Hence, we will graph the per unit cost and get a summary of theimportant results.
Production Total Costs Per unit costs
The graph of the per unit costs is the following

The previous table has a lot of information. Lets have a summary of the mainpoints:
1)AFC is always decreasing.
2)AVC decreases reaches a low point and then increases again.
3)ATC decreases reaches a low point and then increases again.4)MC decreases reaches a low point and then increases again.
5)When MC > ATC then ATC is increasing
When MC < ATC then ATC is decreasing
6) MC crosses ATC and AVC at their lowest point
