TOTAL PRODUCT CURVE: A curve that graphically represents the relation between total production by a firm in the short run and the quantity of a variable input added to a fixed input. When constructing this curve‚ it is assumed that total product changes from changes in the quantity of a variable input (like labor)‚ while other inputs (like capital) are fixed. This is one of three key product curves used in the analysis of short-run production. The other two are marginal product curve and average product

Learning curve effect explains relationship between experience and productivity. According to learning curve effect‚ if time consulting‚ completed transactions do again‚ spending time that is required for transaction will shrink and productivity of work will increase. Learning curve effect is observable in every area of life. For example‚ we deal with a software developer. Learning first programming language at high level takes about two years for the software developer. The same software developers

supply and demand Identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation. Explain why you have categorized these principles or concepts as macroeconomic or microeconomic. The microeconomic topics would be the demand and supply curve. The demand curve shows how consumers would react to prices. The supply curve shows how landlords would react to price by how much units will sell. The outside company coming in and the price cap would fall under macroeconomic

Learning Curve Theory is concerned with the idea that when a new job‚ process or activity commences for the first time it is likely that the workforce involved will not achieve maximum efficiency immediately. Repetition of the task is likely to make the people more confident and knowledgeable and will eventually result in a more efficient and rapid operation. Eventually the learning process will stop after continually repeating the job. As a consequence the time to complete a task will initially
