20. Theory of Production Deals with the relationship between the factors of production and the output of goods and services. At what point is more or less input bad? factors of production: Land, Capital (tools, equipment), labor.

21. Production Function Illustrated in graphs or schedules on pg 124 in your books. Input = change in number of workers Total Product = total amount produced Marginal Product = change in output because of the increase in input.

22. Three Stages of Production Stage I: –Increasing returns/marginal product –Each new worker contributes more to total product than the one before her. Stage II: –Total product grows but marginal product gets smaller. Stage III: –Total output goes down and marginal product becomes negative.

23. Stage III = Law of Diminishing Returns By this time the employer has hired to many workers and the people are starting to get in each others way. At what stage should employers try to hire the perfect number of workers? What is the optimum number of workers for the business on page 124?
